I agree also.  Not having the category names match the dirs was not
one of my better ideas.  Though I'd almost be motivated to vote that
the change go in the other direction (long directory names) and just
deal with the CVS pain and the shouts of the 8.3 weenies who were
%@*$!'d on the directory names a long time ago anyway.. :)
