New project suggestion

Reorganise the directory structure. Simple little thing but makes so much 
difference to new users.

I am prepared to take charge of it if desired.

Details:

Rearrange the filesystem to make more sense and to logically arrange 
everything

The new filesystem would be as follows

/usr = things pertaining to users
/sys = contains the kernels (in /sys/boot) and anything ESSENTIAL to running 
the system
/home = home directories

/usr now has the following subdirectories

/cfg = configuration
/lib = libraries
/bin = binaries

/sys contains anything pertaining to the kernel or global configuration eg 
/sys/cfg/sudoers.cfg

anyway, sorry for the long mail and it might not seem like a priority, but 
the directory structure is what trips up a load of new users and in order to 
spread BSD I think we need to change the structure.

The developers behind it would like a new CVS tree for it please as it would 
require kernel modification.

Thanks for reading.
