Re: Flattened GNUstep structure?

[David Relson]

Adam,

I'd vote for the flattened structure.  I well remember my introduction to 
the multilevel structure and I didn't like it.  After I learned my way 
around it, and modified GNUmakefile.postamble to add a "cp $target ." (or 
whatever), I don't mind it as much.  Also Nextstep/Openstep use a flat 
structure.
