IIRC, this was discussed in the past, and we decided to leave it as it is 
now.  I don't see anything wrong with the current structure: after all, 
for a typical user, keeping the source directory pristine is not very 
important.  Those who care will read the recommendation and act upon it.

This can be easily added.  Should I do that?

P.S.  Somebody should make sure the PDF version indeed can be built with 
the popular version(s) of PDFTeX, before we advertise that.
