GDB source structure

["Veeru (वीऱू)" <misterveeru@gmail.com>]

Hi Dan,

The set of files is reaching close to 600 in number in that directory.
At this point,
even doing an ls is difficult, forget separating out different
architectures and operating systems.
Some file names have the architecture or OS name in them but even that
usage is not consistent.


It would be far easier for folks interested in only a part of the
distribution to be able to focus
on the files that they are interested in.

I do believe though that if there is a method to the madness, it is up
to the newbies to learn it.

So, is there a method to the file structure?

Thanx!
Veeru
