No, I do not want to move the doc/ folder. Just what is in the root dir 
of source tree: INSTALL, README, manpages.

Shouldn't be more than 4-5. They will be in root dir after make cfg, 
where everyone expects them. Just devs need to update them in 
pkg/flavour. The dir can be named something else, 'misc' for example, 
just didn't have a better idea.


I thought in having everything per flavour in pkg/ because it is mainly 
about packaging anyhow, source code is the same.

I think root dir will get too many files and will confuse.
