javatoolkit: new project layout

This email is to garner some discussion on my new project layout for
javatoolkit.

** Background **
Currently, javatoolkit installs *.py[c] files into /usr/share this is
actually against policy.  So after looking at the current javatoolkit
project layout, which is a collection of separate sub-projects, I
decided to branch and cleanup javatoolkit.

** New Project Layout **

"Root" contains the normal collection of files (AUTHORS, CHANGELOG,
README, ETC).  There are now no sub-project equivalents of these files

There are (or will be) the following directories

src/
src/py (python files, xml-rewrite-3.py, class-version-verify.py, etc,etc)
src/py/javatoolkit (all python classes located somewhere in this module)
src/java (java source)
src/man (man pages)
test/

currently (seeing that there is only python stuff) the root directory
contains a python setup.py file to do the install work.

** Current State **

At the moment the layout is pretty much complete.  I have had to split
some files to remove their classes into separate files (to stop pyc and
pyo files being located in /usr/bin) and I have not tested those yet.
Also I have ignored the files that seem to currently play no part in a
normal install (bsfix contains 1 java file for example, tho we don't
install it).  There also seem to be some bsfix test cases, which I
haven't migrated, yet.

All old projects are located in src/obsolete so I can finish that off
latter. This will be deleted.

You can browse the repo here
http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/java/browser/projects/javatoolkit/branches/layout_refactor_branch

and there is a svn ebuild in java-exp (not keyworded)

Anyway, anyone have any problems, ideas etc etc

Thanks

Alistair
