[development] let's cleanup /misc

[Khalid B]

+1 on the general idea.

A while back, I suggested that we have all drupal files be under a
subdirectory, with  only index.php and .htaccess at the root level.

Everything else would be under a drupal directory:

./.htaccess
./index.php
./drupal
./drupal/modules/
./drupal/themes/
./drupal/includes/
./drupal/misc/
./drupal/sites/
./drupal/sites/default/
./drupal/sites/default/settings.php
./drupal/sites/default/modules/
./drupal/sites/default/themes/

This way, when a new release is out, upgrading does not involve a lot
of saving of files and copying back or merging.

We also have an uncluttered directory under www (or public_html), with
only one directory and 2 files in it).
