This makes me wonder if we should impose a rigid structure for each
application based upon the current structure for larger projects.  I
know many people have small apps that are single files, but there is a
lot of pathing code that we could potentially reduce or eliminate.
Also, seems we get a pathing/structure related question every month or
so.  What is the argument for not having a standard directory
structure rigidly imposed?
