Hmmmm, I didn't thought of it that way. But you are right, there's 
probably as much ways of wanting this to be done than there are 
programmers out there. How about a "Source Tree Organizer Template" file 
(stot.xml) describing how to automatically manage some aspect of sources 
files, the first thing coming to mind is namespace convention. There 
could be regex support, conditionals and a lot more I can't think of 
right now.

I wonder if this could become like an external pre-processor where a 
"template" file describes how to pre-process source files prior to 
compilation. Maybe a little bit too much, but I don't know, could be 
interesting.
