Uh, you?  At least that's how I understood the phrase �to release
"standalone" versions of preview-latex� in the paragraph quoted above.

Which does not make finding stuff related to a certain release
significantly easier in my opinion.  It's a step into the right

There are also projects which put the files into subdirectories when
the top directory tends to get overcrowded.  gcc may serve as a
prominent example.
