Well, I chose "admin" originally for administrative scripts,
with etc/ and sbin/ directories to match the conventional
installation points.

The admin/debian subtree doesn't quite fit in with that
scheme, nor does the manpage that's at the top level
rather than living in usr/man/man8 (and hmm, fxload
should get one of those too).

Still, I unless we create a new organization for things
that need to be compiled, I'd like to see locations of
the compiled programs match conventional install
points.  So for example maybe usr/sbin/fxload.c (and
usbmodules.c, pcimodules.c) would make more sense.

Or add a "make install" target to the makefile.
