Bad idea even then. The files is easily confused by humans. If someone says file.cc in a dicsussion do he mean src/File.cc or lib/File.cc? And a really really bad idea for include files unless in a specific include subdir (#include "subdir/file.h"). For example case-insensitive filesystems will fail if both include/ and src/ has a .h file of the same name differing only in case. Also not sure what happens if we (or libtool) build a common lib archive of objects with the same name from differnt directories, but I think that will fail as well. Regards Henrik
