here's a very basic (and possibly stupid) question about the layout of
gretl's C source. On the one hand, we have a directory lib/src/ with a
lot of .c files (among others). On the other hand, we have gui/ or
plugin/, also with many .c files.
So my question: why the separate subdirectory "src" inside lib/, why are
the .c files not directly inside lib/, like with the other directories?
It's a historical thing. I can't think of any reason why it _should_
be that way now, but it's a harmless quirk.
