Zone concepts

I've been fiddling around with the Debian linux distribution and came up
with an alternate zone hierarchy system.  Namely right now Circle has the
area files subdivided by the main type of the file (which is to say better
than the default diku format), but this classification is still arbitrary
in that all mobile files are stuck together, when all they have in common
are being mobiles.  I'm tossing into the fray of having zones modular and
encapsulated into their own subdirectories.  Making new zones available
would be rather easy in that you just drop in that new zone into it's own
subdirectory, with an easy script or program to add in numbers, (possibly
having a zone install script in which will sed or perl in the zone numbers)

BTW: (ATTN: Jeremy) I've been trying to standardize the major exit codes,
but the asserts all over the place can cause some sanity check fits.  Also
I didn't know how much you want that changed, since I also wanted to
incorporate a shutdown timer with appropriate exit codes.  Context diff
should pop up some time this weekend.
