Forget "open source", this is the standard, period. Sun (Java) does it. 
Oracle does it. *Microsoft* does it (although in typical Microsoft 
fashion, I do have about 3 .dll's in a lib/ directory, although I have 
many more in various bin/ directories). If you extend the definition of 
"bin" to be "the folder containing the .exe's", I could add dozens, if 
not hundreds, of examples to the list.
