now hang on. we dont *want* people installing the non-psnfss old
psfonts stuff anyway. or am i confused?

i started to do this, but then realised we dont want that many
directory levels in there.

my memory is that it is up to `suppliers of packages' like me to
register package names, albeit at present simply informally. so my
solution is to say that i have already grabbed "adobe", "monotype",
"bh" etc, and that all the related files should go in there at one
level.

but i am not very happy about this
