Good idea, but when moving rosapps into reactos/modules currently the
build failes for me with this error:

# Creating directories...done
# Unpacking WINE resources...done
# Generating test support code...done
# Generating proxy makefiles...done
# Checking automatic dependencies...File
'modules\cmdutils\mode\mode.c' not found.
# make.exe: *** [makefile.auto] Error 1

Somehow the build system seems to forget the 'rosapps' subfolder when
generating the paths in makefile.auto: It should be
"'modules\rosapps\cmdutils\mode\mode.c'", not
"'modules\cmdutils\mode\mode.c'".
