Comment:

 [attachment:6870.diff] sketches how this might be done for the Activity
 component, which is pretty representative of the other components. Beware:
 it's a large diff. Here are the important points:

 * All files (not in `/classes/`) that include a class are moved via `svn
 cp` to `/classes/`. This preserves SVN history.
 * The `class-{$classname}.php` convention is kept, for compliance with the
 autoload technique proposed in #6853. This means that we have a file named
 `bp-activity/classes/class-bp-akismet.php`. The autoloader will need to
 have a special entry for classes like this.
 * Where the class previously appeared in the `bp-activity-*.php` file,
 it's been replaced with a `require` command. This ensures 100% backward
 compatibility with anyone who may be loading these files directly (may
 Providence have mercy on their Souls). When autoloading is introduced,
 these require statements can be wrapped in a `do_autoload` check.

 Does the approach look correct to everyone? It will be an absolute blast
 to walk through the process for each component (''NOT!!1!! LOL'') but am
 volunteering myself for the job, if everyone's in agreement.
