Gaah. It was trivial, and it happened to work fine for my test-case, but when I started looking at not doing that extremely aggressive subdirectory merging, that showed a few other issues...

So in case people want to try, here's a third patch. Oh, and it's against my _original_ path, not incremental to the middle one (ie both patches two and three are against patch #1, it's not a nice series).

Now I'm really done, and won't be sending out any more patches today. Sorry for the noise.
