I didn't think my question about the mechanics of moving files would 
depend on where we're moving them to.  So let's just look hypothetically 
at the one thing everyone seems to agree on: moving the packet_*.c files 
from the top level directory into a packet/ subdirectory.  This has been 
found to be a good change a couple of times, but didn't go anywhere.  I'm 
asking what could _I_ do to move it along.  I thought we could talk about 
the mechanics in parallel with talking about where we want the files to 
end up.

Are we talking about the same reorganization?  This sounds like it has 
more to do with the proposal to make dissectors pluggable.  I'd like to 
consider that independently from just making the source directories easier 
to work with.
