Let's back up a little.

*Goal*: someone can go to the BOINC web site,
click on "Built the BOINC client",
and get cookbook for the platform and IDE of their choice.
("cookbook" means a complete list of instructions,
no figuring out anything required).

*Non-goal*: someone can explore the BOINC source tree
and figure out how to build the client.

To achieve the goal, we need to fix the Wiki pages.
The location of project files doesn't matter; let's leave them where they are.

There have been lots of well-meaning but misguided changes to the wiki pages.
We need to undo them.

Just for clarification purposes, changes to the project files around is not the 
same thing as changes to the source files.  It doesn't really become a major 
headache until somebody starts to refactor the source files.
Changes to the directory tree structure require changes in the Xcode project 
file and build scripts, not to the *.c and *.cpp files. However, it can 
complicate porting of *.c and *.cpp files to a branch with a different tree 
structure.
