Putting contrib modules into drupal/modules/ is not really cool. It violates a structure that makes upgrades and multi-site installations run a lot more smoothly, and using sites/all/ has been advised in the handbook and in sites/all/README.txt.

With that in mind, I suggest that INSTALL.txt be amended to direct the user to sites/all/modules/ instead of modules/.

Patch applies to DRUPAL-5 branch.

your right, that's left over from the 4.7 days. the changes look good to me other than the directory tree isn't indented consistently. if you'll fix that and re-roll i'll get this committed right off.

I hate vim's auto-indentation.

Well, I've used a text replacement to remove tabs, and then carefully re-indented the lines with spaces; this new patch should be fine.
