Unfortunately, I really have to go to sleep now. :-( And I have to focus my mind on other things for a few days, too. Please feel free to make this change on your own; it's obviously correct as far as I'm concerned. And likewise to anyone else who wants to improve the top level; now that autoconfiscation, and configure-on-demand, have actually happened, I just don't need the tight control on the top level files which I was exercising before. (At least until I start on the new build scheme, which won't be for a while.) Part of the motivation for autoconfiscating was to make the top level less of a "secret region" which only the "initiated" could hack on. I hope I've accomplished that. --Nathanael
