And the user has to provide additional information as to what parts are
flat vs recursive, for the conversion to be done properly.

For example, SourceForge CEDET contains the "cogre" directory under
"cedet". Since that is not part of Emacs core yet, if I'm testing
SourceForge Emacs prior to a merge with Emacs core, it is not
appropriate to include "cogre" in the project search path.
