Yeah, it's as you say. Way back when, the Mahara team destribute
Pieforms as a separate library from Mahara.
http://pieforms.sourceforge.net/doc/html/

So, we separated out the "custom" parts of Pieform as used in Mahara,
from the standard parts. But I think after Nigel left Catalyst, we
stopped trying to support Pieforms as a standalone forms library, so
you're probably right, we're probably better off merging the "custom"
and "standard" stuff now.

** Description changed:

  Currently the basic pieform elements information lives in:
  
  htdocs/lib/pieforms/pieform/
  
  but there are also pieform elements that live in
  htdocs/lib/forms/
  
  Why do we need to have them in two places?
  
  I can imagine that there might have been a reason to keep the pieform
- plugin separate from custom pieform elements but seen as mahara pieform
- is really a fork of the original this seperation is not needed within
- mahara.
