Well, some weeks ago I proposed rearranging the files, with support
for multiple versioning, dropping near all usage of dot files so
changing ".B" to "startup" would fit perfectly, specially if things get
split. Tho nobody said anything about that idea at all, negative or
positive. :]

The doc proposed having a well defined set of subdirectories and even
provide functions to handle those (and other) files clarifying paths
and handling both for users and coders, and even fixing some long
standing issues at the same time. For those that missed it the first
time:
