The reason for a subdirectory for cdevs is to prevent something that is
a big problem for some power users on Macintosh:  Gigantic System Folder
Clutter.  When you get like me and have about 22 cdevs, things can get
a little out of hand in the system folder.  So we buried them one level
deeper so that all you'll see in the system folder is a folder called
"cdevs", much like the "das" folder now.
