Hm, good point.  "ext/trees" maybe, with a plural.  :-)

We do have backwards compatability to consider.  Perhaps renaming these
with a .h would be a bad idea.  I had not considered this when I said
"make no difference to me".

With much pain:

    http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs_7.html#SEC70

Personally I'd like to just rename the raw ,v files in the repository,
but the FSF policy seems to require doing a 'cvs remove' of the old one
and a 'cvs add' of the new one (losing the history).

Although we don't have that much history to lose here, I guess.
