"Lex Spoon" <lex at cc.gatech.edu> is widely believed to have written:

VMMaker uses -

platforms/
	{various platform names}/
		vm/
		plugins/
			{assorted plugins supported by this platform}
		misc/
			{makefiles, resources, help files etc}
	Cross/
		vm/
		plugins/
			{generic plugin code such as FilePlugin.h}

and the src/ directory gets copies of all the files needed for the chosen
platform with the chosen configuration.

It was indeed which is why I suggest living with the way VMMaker does it
for now. No need to make life more difficult.
