Also, I don't think that 'src' is all that common of a convention either.
In the small sample of non-ITAPS open source projects for which I've looked
at the source code, using the app/lib name seems at least as common as using
src/. Examples of projects that use the app/lib name as the directory for
the core code: gcc, gdb, valgrind. Examples that use src/: hdf5, gnuplot,
mpi, vlc. Examples that use neither: glibc, netcdf, sane, openssh, wine.
