You say above that one bundle type is "editor".  I hope / assume this  
means all the functionality you are describing here is encapsulated  
in an interface so other editors besides the default can provide it,  
whether internal or external.

I don't know how important it is to other people, but for my usage  
flexibility in the directory layout is essential.  Source code should  
not need to be directly within the project directory.  This is  
supported by most other IDEs, including Xcode, and is needed for  
coexisting in cross-platform projects where platform-specific files  
need to go into their own subdirectory that is not 'src'.


In any case, thanks for all your work on PC so far..
