hesitating between:
<br>
<br>
- putting all drivers below a drivers/ directory
<br>
<br>
- or having drivers/raster/ , drivers/vector/ and drivers/mixed/
<br>
<br>
This later organization avoids a bit the issue of a monolithic
drivers/ with 250+ subdirectories (who knows if Windows might not
limit to 256 :-)), but it may involve moving code around when
something that was raster or vector only later gains the other
capability.

<p>A real (legacy) Windows limitation is not around 256 subdirs but
around 260 characters in filepath, subject to tool capabilities.
It still hits today in some cases. "drivers/" can make a
difference.</p>
<p>I tend to prefer the first option anyways.</p>
