These changes allow people working on only part of the source tree to
check out (or unpack) only what they're working on and otherwise use
what's been installed in /home/drops (DROPS_STDDIR in l4/Makeconf).

It will get even better (read: more confusing ;) in the next snapshot:
We've moved all include files to package-specific subdirectories to
reduce clutter in <l4/*.h>, requiring changes to many source files
(e.g., <l4/ipc.h> becomes <l4/sys/ipc.h>).  We thought that
indroducing some software-development guidelines now would hurt less
than introducing them later.
