FYI,

Moving stuff into a sub directory is a significant change and should
really be discussed separatly - at present the only think in sub
directories are UIs. I tend to recommend leaving such cosmetic changes
as a latter pass.

Also remember that it is always best to figure out what the issues with
this change are likely to be and then discuss them publically. Can you
walk people through exactly how you're introducing the C++ abi.

This, unfortunatly, makes it sound like more than a cosmetic change :-(

As they say, sounds good in theory.
