One of these directories must go away!

If we want to closely mirror BeOS, we must put *all* hardware handling drivers 
into something like /current/src/add-ons/kernel/drivers/bin as the final kernel 
drivers are all
in /boot/beos/system/add-ons/kernel/drivers/bin

But I would prefer to put the sources of hardware driver not in 
current/src/add-ons/kernel/bin
but create apropriate sub folders in /current/src/kernel/drivers and place them 
there. The final
driver binaries can still be placed in  /boot/beos/system/add-ons/kernel/bin

However, this is my personal opinion. I think the consensus is that we only 
keep one directory.
How to organize them should be well considered.

Still not sure and confused,
Marcus
