Two reasons: 1) we locate all the objects to add to the library using "find". it is easier to find them under "src/" rather than enumerating each source subdir. We can't use "." because that would pick up "test/". 2) to keep the top-level cleaner. we have eight groups of functionality in apr-util/src/. tossing those up a level would make that a bit more confusing. Currently, the top-level has: build/, docs/, include/, src/, and test/. Each is obvious in purpose. Cheers, -g -- Greg Stein, http://www.lyra.org/
