Hmm... I think I originally reacted because I'm used to working with
the source code at the root level of the project, but looking at other
open source projects (granted, those are mostly in C), they do tend to
have a "src" directory. I guess we can live with, and get used to,
working that way. But yes, not hidden will work better, thanks.

Actually, followind that line of reasoning, how about a "data"
directory for data files, instead of picking them from the root level
of the project? These two changes would be a nice step forward in
organisation of our gambas projects, IMHO.
