	Yes.  The includes have moved, which means that every file needs
to change to reflect this, for one thing.  There are other changes too. 
This has been discussed *extensively* on this list for the past week or
so.  Where have you been that you did not see this?  As well, I asked
several days in advance of the commit if anyone had any problems with what
I was proposing, and you said nothing....

	Yes.  The original stuff will have to go at some point.
