That may work for some places but I found it useful to review the documentation
at the same time given things may have changed. In the end I am not fussed how
we make the change. :)

Is there a per repo directory under src? I am fine with that. The important
point is having a consistent arrangement that can be used when building other
things like libbsd or the examples without needing to delete or change anything.
