ok. slight problem. releases will still be full of files. why dont we start a
new toplevel like:

rel/

then:

rel/enlightenment
rel/efl

etc.

do we really want a dir per minor release (1.8, 1.9, etc.) isn't the above
enough? they will all be listed in alphabetical order so your latest will be
at/near the end... i might suggest:

rel/enligthenment/pre
rel/enlightenment/full
rel/efl/pre
rel/efl/full

etc.

with pre dirs for pre-release (alpha's beta's etc.) and full for full releases
and bugfixes
