Not the exception, by a long shot.

The cmd- files don't seem central to libarch.  They're tla wrappers 
around Arch primitives.  cmd-commit.c is tla, and deals with input 
validation and interpretation for commandline-based programs.  commit.c 
is the one that relates directly to Arch.  So I think that commands 
should be grouped with tla, possibly in the tla directory.

If we're renaming files anyway (by moving them), we could strip the cmd- 
prefix off the files at the same time.
