So look it up in the Makefile, or in MAKEALL - what's exactly the
problem?

Identification of such code has never been a real problem. The
problem is that it needs somebody to come up with patches to clean up
the mess. I doubt that the number of volunteers will significantly
grow just by reorganizing the directory structure.
