The structure is just for namespace, you can arrange commands however  
you like... one of the benefits of GShell.

I just setup the structure, cause I'm anal and I organize  
everything... er except my bedroom, which is a huge cluster*uck.

  * * *

My _recommendation_ is to have some sort of organization... though it  
doesn't need to be "geronimo/*"...

Assuming that the configuration of GShell is specific to Geronimo,  
then lets consider what someone using the interface might want/expect/ 
need?  But also keep in mind that they are free to drop in other  
commands, like the BSF scripting bits (the 'script' command) or the  
VFS commands (currently only 'copy') or remote support ('remote- 
shell', 'rsh', 'remote-shell-server', 'rshd').

I'm not sure what the right organization is really... cause we are  
just getting things rolling in this direction.

So I say we take a stab at what we *think* folks want, then do it...  
and make changes later as needed.  IMO there is no reason not to  
change something if we are making it easier/better.
