Uhm... uhm... why ? Until now I thought we're just talking about where
should we store libAST in the source tree, right ?
If libast is usefull for other applications which _may_ be distributed
with Solaris in ther near future than it would make sense to put it into
the normal libs/ directory in the source tree... otherwise it would just
be dumped under the ksh/ sources...
