Hi, just noticed (well, have been told) that in the new GNU make build system (oh, before I start any ranting: <disclaimer>Great Stuff (TM), really!</disclaimer>) it is expected that header files which are to be exported from a module reside in <module>/inc/<module>. And also, but my understanding might be wrong here: Files are exported *if and only if* they reside there.
While it is great to clean up this "which files are delivered from where" mess we currently have, the above also implies that files from <module>/inc/<module>/* are not exported anymore, i.e. it is not possible to organize header files below the second <module> level. Instead, they all need to be thrown on a big fat header file pile. Is this understanding correct? If so, I think this is not a good idea at all: Consider modules such as toolkit, svtools and svx, where there is a more or less complex (well, let's say: well-arranged and -readable) folder structure below the module's include folder. Putting all those files into the flat <module>/inc/<module> folder will certainly not contribute to the readability of the source tree. So, are there plans to relax the above restriction?
