FWIW there were always the comments in the headers. And this hasn't
caused any actual problem that I know of.
I understand why you'd want the same directory structures. I looked
into this today... doing it the Classpath way either requires a
separate Makefile for the external stuff (and this is not free since
it means we have to make a convenience library there), or a huge mess
in the top-level Makefile. At least, I didn't find an easy way to
make this work.

Good point :-)
Let's discuss tomorrow on irc. Or for the ircless who care, send
email here.
