Well, I don't know what sm501 is, but description helps me. SAK is
similar. .. as is btmrvl.
I'd say this is still quite valueable, and it might be worth fixing,
rather then removing completely.
And yes, moving stuff to subdirectories and naming files reasonably
would help, too. "btmrvl" is really bad name...
