Prepare for radical source tree reorganization.zack/build-layout-experiment

All top-level files and directories are moved into a temporary storage
directory, REORG.TODO, except for files that will certainly still
exist in their current form at top level when we're done (COPYING,
COPYING.LIB, LICENSES, NEWS, README), all old ChangeLog files (which
are moved to the new directory OldChangeLogs, instead), and the
generated file INSTALL (which is just deleted; in the new order, there
will be no generated files checked into version control).

+	    List of known bugs (certainly very incomplete)
+	    ----------------------------------------------
+
+Time-stamp: <2007-10-27 18:37:51 drepper>
+
+This following list contains those bugs which I'm aware of.  Please
+make sure that bugs you report are not listed here.  If you can fix one
+of these bugs/limitations I'll certainly be glad to receive a patch.
+
+Another source of information about bugs is the problem data base of the
+GNU project.  There is an easy to use WWW interface available at
+
+       http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/
+
+I would appreciate it very much if you could verify the problem was
+not reported before by looking through the database. Before reporting
+a bug please check the FAQ since it discusses also a lot of
+problematic situations.
+

+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Severity: [  *] to [***]
+
+[ **]  Closing shared objects in statically linked binaries most of the
+       times leads to crashes during the dlopen().  Hard to fix.
+
+[ **]  The RPC code is not 64 bit clean.  This is getting slowly fixed
+       but expect incompatible changes on 64 bit platforms like Alpha.
+
+[  *]  The precision of the `sinhl' and/or `asinhl' function do not seem
+       to be the best.
+
+[  *]  On Linux, there should be a way to prevent defining the symbol
+       NGROUPS_MAX in the <linux/limits.h> header file.  In glibc it
+       is defined in <posix1_lim.h> which must not make the other
+       symbols in <linux/limits.h> available.
+       [PR libc/140]
+
+[  *]  The libm-ieee `gamma' function gives wrong results (at least for
+       -0.5).
+
+[  *]  The libm-ieee `scalb' function gives wrong results for
+       non-integral second parameters.
+
+[  *]  Several (most?) collation specifications are broken.  The code which
+       is currently there is in most cases inherited from the originial
+       author (in case there is a LC_COLLATE specification in the locale
+       file) or is defined using the default (if iso14651_t1 is included).
+
+       In any case we are missing information to correct the specification.
+       If you find the specification for your language be faulty please
+       send a report with instruction on what to fix.  You don't have to
+       fix the specification yourself.
+
+       The way it finally should look like (if the generic specification
+       is not correct) can be seen in the sv_SE file.  Quite a few changes
+       on top of the generic specification can be made without duplication
+       of the whole LC_COLLATE description.
+
+[  *]  Some of the functions which also handled IPv6 are currently broken.
+       IPv6 and IPv4 lookups occasionally happen when not needed.  This
+       happens in getaddrinfo() and getnameinfo().  IPv4 handling of
+       these functions is OK though and there are patches available to fix
+       the IPv6 code as well.
