These I don't like, I think image and sound should be either at toplevel, or otherwise in a separate package (mm?). I know images and sounds are customarily stored in binary files, but so are databases and other things.

Hmmm...I think of "bin" as "interface to binary files". Agreed that I don't have a good reason for seperating gdbm from zlib.

Hmm, the bin group in general seems to be a bit of a catch-all. gzip, zlib and chunk definitely belong together, but struct is a wholly different beast.

I think Ping and I decided to move struct to toplevel. Ping, would you like to take your last proposal and fold into it the consensual changes,, or should I?
