What about moving src/demo/solvers to src/modules/demo, and giving more 
structure to the module directory and making them more descriptive, e.g.

src/modules/flow/incompressible_nse
src/modules/flow/compressible_nse

src/modules/solid/elasticity
src/modules/solid/plasticity

src/modules/mesh/. . . .
src/modules/misc/. . . .
.
.
src/modules/test/. . . .  (tests for modules)
src/modules/bench/. . . . (benchmarks for modules)

src/modules/demo/. . . .

For example, there is a module "navierstokes" (which is working very 
nicely now), but there are different approaches to solving the Navier 
Stokes equations depending on the regime of interest.

This way the modules are kept together and are relatively self-contained 
(on top of the kernel) but remain with DOLFIN.
