Ok, Jason raised the point that ipaserver is a python lib so shouldn't 
be cluttered with other junk.

In the old tree we had a nice separation between client, server, tools, 
etc. We're not necessarily going to have that but the tools are now 
consolidated down to one program (ipa). We may rename the client at some 
point to simple-client to differentiate it from SSSD which will be much 
more feature-rich.

In any case, here is what I propose now after looking at the final tree 
for a while:

./install - where all files used at install time go
./install/conf - configuration file templates
./install/updates - for ipa-ldap-updater
./install/share - misc files
./install/tools - ipa-server-install, replication tools, etc

./selinux - our policy

./daemons - our other servers and DS plugins
./daemons/ipa-kpasswd
./daemons/ipa-slapi-plugins

ipaserver/install - the installation library

This is a lot cleaner now. I have a patch for this if anyone wants to 
give it a go.
