For example,
  po/sympa/fr.po
  po/web_help/fr.po
  ...
in the source tree would be compiled and installed to the places
  $localedir/fr/LC_MESSAGES/sympa.mo
  $localedir/fr/LC_MESSAGES/web_help.mo
  ...
respectively.

But as I wrote in another post, configure script seems not to
expect such layout.

I don't strongly disagree to Guillaume on this issue, but I prefer
to flatter layout: I feel inconvenient that many sources will be put
in more deeper place, src/lib/Sympa/ than lib/Sympa/.

OTOH moving src/lib/Sympa/ to src/Sympa/ seems not to be a good 
idea.  It may break grouping by targets of installation:
- There aren't modules named script::*, sbin::*, ..., but they are
  there.
- Sympa.pm or Sympa.pod [I'd like to propose this on another
  occation] looks like orphan file.
