Unfortuantely, there is often no clear indication of which way any particular
change should go.  So I have to go on my best instincts, ChangeLogs, etc.
Sometimes I make mistakes.

At the current time I believe the Cygnus tree is still considered the master
for libio, libstdc++, libiberty, include and the config subdirectories.  We
may (or may not) be able to bring libio & libstdc++ under the egcs umbrella
over time, but ultimately it's a decision for the libstdc++ maintainers and
RMS.
