That file system organization is pure crack.

"Porting" mono is not a matter of creating a directory.
"Replacing" the GC is not a matter of renaming a directory.
"Adding an optimization" is not a matter of adding a new directory.

You are focused on the wrong side of the spectrum if you think that the
directory layout will in any form help.
