Whats the reason behind moving the source into a separate directory?
It's not needed, have a look d3dcompiler_46 which uses the source in d3dcompiler_43. If you have main.c in each directory the build script is smart enough to compile the correct one, if that is your concern.
I didn't realize it was wrong. I was following the example of msvc* which keeps their implementations in msvcrt/. However, we do need an msvcrt DLL while we don't need an xaudio2 DLL. I didn't realize that other modules like d3dcompiler use the shared source mechanism.
I don't understand why we keep the generic implementation in a specific DLL, but if that's what we do, then OK.
Mostly we don't want to create directories that don't correspond to a real dll. That would be confusing, and potentially create conflicts with import library names and the like.
