Probably a choice you won't regret. But I hope we'll get your oppinion on 
that in a while.

They are a bit scattered, but mostly because we tried to follow the way 
things are done on linux.
On a debian system dpkg -L <packagename>, will show you each file from that 
particular package.
(you'll probably want dpkg -L emc2).

Changing the layout can't be done without changing the code, but adding 
things can be done using PyVCP
(check: http://www.linuxcnc.org/docview/2.2/html//hal_vcp.html
and http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?PyVCP)
