Criteria for this is mainentance. I have here:

aino:/net/contrib/crossfire/lib/maps>ls -ld ph
lrwxrwxrwx  1 hevi 40 Jul 12 19:03 ph -> /net/surukuku/wrk/hevi/crossfire/ph/maps

so I can convient keep my maps in my own work disk, or move them
easy across file system. And when making distribution, it easier
make tar below one directory.

Maybe, it would be more logical to have "root" at continent level.

Anyway, target is, I think, there is under 20 files in directory.

To being more exact say: "there is a bug in /ph/Island/Fireham/Hole/First" :)
