Wasn't there some discussion of waiting on major directory moves 
like this until we switched to Subversion or another version 
control system which handles renames and file moves properly?

*cough, cough*

Anyway, "fe" is a horrible name.  (Down with acronyms!) "lang" would be 
better, so we'd have
gcc/lang/ada
gcc/lang/c
gcc/lang/cp
gcc/lang/f
gcc/lang/java
gcc/lang/objc
gcc/lang/treelang
