That's what I was thinking, as well, basically.  I started with the "scm
interop" tools because they should be the least controversial to move
around.

Very good point.

So these seem obvious to me:
	libgit/ (maybe just lib/?)
	builtin/

Comments on a way to make the Makefile less repetitive would be
appreciated, though.
