Hi,

Regarding prefixes, the above 2 files are not on the path.  To require 
them, you would need:

(require 'srecode/el)
(require 'semantic/sb)

and internally, their prefixes are related to the parent package, ie: 
srecode- and semantic-

The files are organized this way because the old file names of some 
neighboring files where too long in the old scheme, such as 
"srecode-dictionary.el"
