cosmetic changes: putting code for the library in some directory, code for 
binaries in another, etc...

Iirc, i have proposed that structure:

  doc/          documentation
  src/
    bin/        binaries code
    include/    header files
    lib/        library code
    test/       unit tests

for example.
