Our project setup doesn't have an immediate sub-folder of app, however, it appears that running ng generate always assume that you have an app folder under the app root folder you specified in .angular-cli.json

Versions

Angular CLI: 1.6.0
Node: 7.0.0
OS: darwin x64
Angular:
...

Repro steps

• Setup a simple .angular-cli.json with:

{
  "apps": [
    {
      "name": "client",
      "root": "projects/client"
    }
  ]
}

• Run:

ng g c form-inputs/mike --skip-import --dry-run --app=client

Observed behavior

You'll see the output path always assumes an app folder:

  create projects/client/app/form-inputs/mike/mike.component.css (0 bytes)
  create projects/client/app/form-inputs/mike/mike.component.html (23 bytes)
  create projects/client/app/form-inputs/mike/mike.component.spec.ts (614 bytes)
  create projects/client/app/form-inputs/mike/mike.component.ts (261 bytes)

Desired behavior

I'd like an option to be able to configure whether your project has the app folder or not. Or maybe an option to configure the whole path the component gets created in.
