Does it make sense for xml-fop dev'ers to standardize on a particular
directory structure for CVS? It seems that this problem might have been
averted had Glen used what I was the standard directory structure for
xml-fop development: for development purposes it is best if xml-fop builds
be built from under the xml-fop/ directory. If so, some sort of "standard"
directory structure might be a good addition to the Fop-Dev FAQ.

DISCLAIMER: If this doesn't make sense (me being something of a
CVS-newbie), please disregard. I'm not trying to be picky here, just
hoping to learn whether this thought process might improve efficiency for
[PATCH] submissions. ;-)
