Yes, I agree, that greping ./lisp is convienient. My current proposed
directory structure would change this -- you'd have to grep the
top-level directory which includes lots of other stuff. From a normal
user perspective with an installed Emacs the directory above lisp
includes etc.

I will investigate moving my "package" directory into "./lisp/". It will
complicate the build somewhat, but it can be done.
