Possible change in SDK directory structure

[Benjamin D. Smedberg]

As a part of the recent discussions about separating the mozilla build 
system into a "gecko tier" and and "app tier", there was discussion 
about changing the nature of the SDK.  It was decided that the SDK is 
still going to contain only frozen interface headers.

However, I have heard a lot of complaints that the current SDK is 
difficult to use, because the directory structure doesn't match that of 
the mozilla "dist" directory. This makes it very hard to switch from a 
project using the moz build tree to a separated project built on the 
SDK. Therefore, I would like to propose a change in the SDK directory 
structure to more-closely match the directory structure of the mozilla 
"dist" directory:

Current SDK:
  [sdk]/xpcom/include/nsIInputStream.h
  [sdk]/xpcom/idl/nsIInputStream.idl
Proposed:
  [SDK]/include/xpcom/nsIInputStream.h
  [SDK]/idl/xpcom/nsIInputStream.idl
I would like feedback from any embedders who currently are using the 
SDK: would this change help you, or would it be a painful alteration 
without any benefit? I obviously don't want to go changing the directory 
structure just for the fun of it.
