Agreed - let's fix the egregious ones like mismatched .C and .h
locations. But a lot of these are just a matter of opinion: should
type_vector.h be in numerics/ or should it be in say utils/ or even
geom/ since it's the class that Point is based on? If you move it,
you'll also have to move type_tensor.h, vector_value.h, etc. Since
we've already (or should have already, Derek!) committed to memory the
fact that it's in numerics I think we should just leave it...
Likewise, it kind of bugs me that all the System header files are in
the solvers/ directory, and all the ErrorEstimators are in the
numerics/ directory, but again I know they are there so I'd just as
soon leave it alone.
@Derek: Aren't you using one of these new-fangled IDEs that all the
kids are talking about anyway?
