I have a feature branch where I'm intermittently working on the bootstrapping changes described in PEP 432.

As part of those changes, I've cleaned up a few aspects of the repo layout: * moved the main executable source file from Modules to a separate Apps directory Sounds fine (I don't like "Apps" much, but hey :-)). Unfortunately, I don't know any other short word for "things with main functions that we ship to end users" :)

"Bin" is quite common (if ironic). I think it would be fine two if that stuff was in Python/; anywhere is better than modules. (Care to move the GC, too?)
