Ok, but I don't think what we are discussing would change that?  It's
just that status/bin would be under gdtl/test and gdtl/test/gregorian
and gdtl/test/posix_time/ instead of gdtl/build.

One of the clear issues with CVS is that it doesn't move files
and directories well.  So I was hoping to avoid doing alot of
directory rearrangement post check-in.
