This directory contains miscellaneous files of convenient functionality or pieces of other libraries which haven't been incorporated in the main release yet
And, the missing directory contains source files which have been known to be missing from particular distributions or platforms. This is where code is placed for either a workaround or substitution for what didn't exist on a particular distribution or platform.
