Ah, I see.  So what you're saying is that just for having one PLIST file
and one distinfo file, it would be stupid to have one extra directory
(which brings with it the entire CVS gunk).  Makes sense.

However, in this case, I think it's better to have this directory, as we
have a handful of messages, different PLISTs and distinfo-files, which,
were they put into the main dir, would clutter that directory
significantly.

So, unless there are strong objections, I'd rather leave it as it is
now.  But thanks for pointing this out -- I'll definitely take note for
the future.
