MPS issue job001161

Title:there is no human-helpful map of MPS files
Status:open
Priority:nice
Assigned user:Gareth Rees
Organization:Ravenbrook
Description:there is no human-helpful map of MPS files

This is a big topic; here's a start, looking at source files:
A new user is presented with over 200 cryptically 8.3-named source files.
It is hard to:
  - discern the purpose of each file;
  - discern the grouping of files;
  - notice the more important files (in an alphabetical listing they get
    swamped by big groups such as event*.*)
     - list files such that ./design/XX is collated near to ./code/XX.c
Analysis:An easy first step is to make and maintain a web-page.
For each MPS file it has:
  - a link to the file;
  - a pithy description of the file's purpose.
   These elements are grouped semantically.
   Just do ./design/* and ./code/* to start with.
   Done pro-tem in: /​/​info.ravenbrook.com/​user/​rhsk/​mps/​mps-file-map.html
