[cvsnt] Moving directory within repository

[P. Dwayne Miller]

If I understand the 'destroy any similarity...' part, then I believe I'm 
okay as none of this code has been released yet.  All of the versions 
were created during development/testing phases.  It was only during 
development of install process that we realized the directory structure 
was no good for us.

Tks,
Dwayne
