I'm going to write up a document on the structure and contents of
definition directories, as used by supervision-scripts. However, I'm
going to try and approach it from an evolutionary approach, so that each
decision is laid out, and the role and purpose of each directory, file,
and symlink is clear. With a little luck it might also touch on the
various aspects of different frameworks, what their expectations are,
and how they interact with those files.

With regard to the double-symlink trick, that's something I borrowed
from how I handle switching run scripts. It was a crude layout but I
think I can simplify it a bit more and make it less messy, while making
it neutral to all of the frameworks. I'm still thinking it over.

It will probably be just a markdown document (for expediency) but I'll
take the same text and push it into the project wiki as well, so it's
"pretty".

Thanks! The problem was lurking around in my head but I never gave it
time, until now.
