What better time than now?

- It will mean we can keep all our Perl modules together in a place where any
(new or old) developer could predict to find them
- It will also make it easier to work with multiple namespaces. 
- It will provide a smaller target for git/dev installs (rather than having
"lib" be the entire source tree)
- It also provides a mechanism for overriding modules. There are cases where
you might want to use a library but want to customize the behaviour of a
submodule. It doesn't necessarily make sense to fork an entire library, but you
can override a single module, since the Koha "lib" directory is sourced earlier
in @INC
- It provides a first step to cleaning up the top-level directory
- It provides an opportunity to find little hacks where we load modules based
on file system location rather than their presence in @INC. 

I can put some time into this. I imagine most issues would be related to C4 and
SIP.
