Absolutely. I never intended to dispute Jim's merits. gnulib wouldn't be
gnulib without Jim's contributions.

I'm not in favour of starting a big renaming now. But we can bear in mind,
when adding several new modules at once, that having the .h and .c files in
subdirectories is now an option. We can see how things work out in the next
few months. Maybe if someone writes an explanatory documentation of some of
the modules, we'll also know better how to group the modules.
