	If this is right (and I'm assuming it is), why is there a subdirectory
for CDEVs? I know that some people really don't like the way the Mac works
with things like DAs (having to add/remove the resource chunks from the
System file), but it seems there's a bit of a difference... Or is Apple
planning on keeping things "the way they are" regarding the structure of the
system disk? I prefer the subdirectory arrangement, but it seems like the
system software is slowly but surely drifting towards that of the Mac.
