The directory structure ought to be more flat than
the possible combinations that form a product.

For example if:
HOST_API = posix winapi
HOST_OS = solaris aix gnu linux darwin freebsd windows wince
HOST_OS_PEDIGREE = SYSV GNU BSD

then the directories are stored flat under src:

--src
     |--share
     |--posix
     |--winapi
     |--SYSV
     |--GNU
     |--BSD
     |--solaris
     |--aix
     |--gnu
     |--linux
     |--darwin
     |--freebsd
     |--windows
     |--wince

Then, when compiling, the union of the directories and files below
the selected src subdirectories, form the source of the product.
For example:
    share,posix,BSD,darwin
    share,posix,GNU,linux
    share,posix,GNU,gnu
    share,winapi,windows

This gives less confusion about which subdirs to src/posix
are configuration directories, and which are posix directories with code.
