You see a transition state.  All the GPL'd code is moved out of
src/gnu into src/contrib.  src/gnu is the tree for building code only, 
not for storing it.  src/usr.bin (et al) are used when the code isn't
gpl'd.  We do this so that the build can easily eliminate building of
gpl by removing gnu from the top level makefile.
