gEDA-dev: [RFC] Embedding/archiving compromise

[Stuart Brorson]

ISTR that Mentor's Design Architect used a directory with a bunch of
sub-directories as the orgainzational principle for a project.

My only question is: is this kind of architecture cross-platform
enough that it could work on OSX and windoze as well?  It seems
likely, but I am always afraid of hidden gotchas.
