I had an offline discussion with Erik regarding this.

While we generally support moving files to a proper location, if this 
move is causing trouble for Phil and the 2d team, we think it can be an 
acceptable exception this time to just single out the LCMS.c file. (This 
can be achieved by setting INCLUDE_FILES:=LCMS.c -- that will 
automatically exclude other files in the SRC dirs.) If we do reorganize 
the source code, we can handle where to move the files at that time instead.

Phil, ping?

Unfortunately there is not. However, I can help you run the neccessary 
JPRT tests if we can get to a patch that 2d is comfortable with.
