The real problem is that there are many different dichotomies that
can be used for grouping.  The directory structure must choose exactly
one such dichotomy.  There can be multiple ways to group used in the
CMake options to enable whole groups of modules together.  If the
group names from different dichotomies overlap that could be confusing.
This is one reason I liked the flat list.

However, since the module names and directory structure are independent
we can fiddle with this later without affecting much.
