------------------------------------------------------------

Unfortunately we ended up being too late in the cycle to really make these changes. The layout of 7 is already expected by the users using it, since it's been out for awhile, so it could potentially create extra hassle(as an example IDE integration would have to be updated to look for different locations of things). We can look at this again with AS8.

> There is a of stuff in the top-leve directory - much of which, most users will never need to see.
> 0. create a top-level "lib" directory for all static / read-only artifacts - modules, schemas, bundles, welcome-content. It's quite possible that there is a better name than "lib" - but this is consitent with Linux / Unix lib / Library dirs.
> 1. Rename and move <JBOSS-HOME>/docs
> <JBOSS-HOME>/docs contains no docs. it contains schemas and an odd subdirectory with a HornetQ config. I suggest we rename it "schemas" and hide it under "lib". As for examples/configs dir. - is it required by anything ?
> 2. Move app-client under lib - doesn't need to be in the top-level directory
> 3. Move jboss-modules.jar under lib
> This will leave JBOSS-HOME with just :
> README.txt
> copyright.txt
> License.txt
> bin
> domain
> standalone
> Also - any reason README and LICENSE are upper-case but copyright is lower ?
