Basically there are a crapton of files in a single directory, making for 
clutter.

Additionally, on Windows, TAB completion of filenames in cmd shells doesn't 
stop at the first non-unique character in a path, so it's essentially useless 
when a crapton of files all begin with the same prefix.  If the files are 
grouped by module, then I can TAB complete on the module and usually the checks 
differ after a few characters in the check name once the module prefix is 
stripped, so typing a few characters and then TAB completes to the desired file 
or a few more TABs to cycle through the remaining matching files to get the one 
I want.
