There are some users that download the project and use it in-place. As
such, if the folder is named src, then they either have to:
a) Add the src folder to their include path. This causes information loss,
because includes don't have a meaningful path prefix, or
b) Add the download folder to their include path. This maintains the
information, but now they have to use #include "UnitTest++/src/header.h", or
c) Do symbolic linking to get a more meaningful path prefix.
Yes there are numerous ways around 1 and 2 (including 3), but actually
changing the project is a low-friction way that doesn't hurt anybody else,
aside from their sensibilities. :) The other plus of this change is that
now unit tests can include UnitTest++/header.h instead of using relative
paths, so they serve as more illustrative examples.
A more typical arrangement, of course, is to have a separate 'src' folder,
and a separate 'include/UnitTest++' folder. This is what I would like to
convert to soon.

Great, I'd love to see it. Preferably in GitHub-flavored Markdown so we can
put it on the github wiki.
