Yes, absolutely. All the directories will be revised for 5.9. Now that
you've done hard job of sorting through the share directories, we are
almost there. The general plan is that the script for59/migrate will
move all the files to their new locations. Once we are satisfied with
the changes, I will run it (with a few modifications) on the cvs
repository itself.
My plan is to put unused files in the "archive" directory. I don't want
throw anything away, but clearing up the clutter really helps. The
migrate script records what happened to each file, so some sort of
history is maintained.
I've been working on migrate; the version on my disk is much closer to
the final version than what is in cvs. I should be ready to check it in
soon.

Yes. I think only three of those files are still useful.

Moved into archive.

OK. I haven't made it to the emacs directory yet.

Good point.

A fine question. I think it is going away.

Oh, it is much worse than that. If you run the current migrate script,
then look in archive/src, you will see that there are 88 files we no
longer use!
