[Orca-dev] A little restructuring

[Marcus Vinicius Ferreira]

Mr. Blair,



Here are my 2 cents:

   1) "data_gatherers" is a pretty descritive name. I vote for it.

   2) "linuxallator" is a trend to follow.
      It opens space for the future gatherers:
      - aixallator
      - bsdallator
      - and so on.....
