Most of the projects I have seen start with the main file of the
application (main.c, main.java, index.php, ...) in the root of src
folder and then group other files in subfolders. It is an intuitive way
to start navigating the source code, not having to "guess" in which
subfolders to look for main.c

Main reason for me: for the simplified version I found for upgrading the
build system (make file dependecies), this is the easy way. Afterwards,
one can jump in and do further work to upgrade makefiles and relocate
main.c.
