Build system

[Martin Fuchs]

Hi,

as the repository is being set up fresh, I think this would be the
best time to correct some problems with the directory layout and file
naming schemes.

The rbuild input files have been named "*.xml". Yes, these files are
XML files. But it's not the best name for them. It would clash with
XML files being used by the built applications itself. So I propose to
rename all those "*.xml" files of the rbuild system to "*.rbld".

What do you think about this idea?

Regards,

Martin

Good idea. Although can we use *.rbuild instead?

Just to be sure everyone knows about it, a new directory layout was
suggested by Alex about a year ago:
http://www.reactos.org/wiki/index.php/New_Tree_Structure
We should follow this layout when building the new repository.

*.rbuild is fine with me.

Very clearly laid out. I approve of this.
