Makes sense to me.
Maybe we could name these directories after their parent directory, so
the includes would look like "libiberty/mumble.h" or "bfd/bfd.h".
Speaking hypothetically.
Submodules would also let us move other things out, like zlib and
readline. For readline in particular this would be a big help.

Yeah. It's also just hard to coordinate a change like this politically,
as there are a lot of veto points in the system.
