While moving in SVN is easy we still export to CVS and have a lot
(most) of our users on that.

Further a move will imho result in a delete and add by the exporter so
there'll be a loss in file history there.

Also moving it around often will put us into #include <> hell
evenetually for everything that is "local" to files rather than a
public interface at a well defined place which we'll need to be very
carefull of anyway.
