- I'd prefer the opposite.. the root include directory is already too
- cluttered (and hence slow to search on a TOS file system) as it is.

- It would probably be a good idea if the MiNTlibs were broken up into
- subsections which would be placed in subdirectories. This would probably
- speed up compile times due to the decrease in directory search time. It
- would probably also aid development, machine support etc could be
- distinguished from Unix compatability etc etc etc.
-
- Also, anyone thought about moving all the Atari-only headers into
- <atari/*.h>, MiNT-only (ie not Unix compatable ones) into <mint/*.h>,
- TOS-only ones into <tos/*.h> etc etc etc? I know this would cause a few
- problems to begin with, but it will be more in the spirit of OpenSystems and
- POSIX etc. I hope we're all trying to make the Atari development environment
- as close to a "standard" environment as possible.

- PS. Has anyone tried to get the atari modifications into the mainstream GCC
- release?
