Do it the other way around. The actual data should be int /usr/share,
so it can be shared. Keeping the stuff in /usr prevents this.
Doing it this way dosen't have any problems(I've been doing this for 2
years here, no problems) and allows us to phase in the switch to using
/usr/share only.
When someone upgrades, have an upgrade script do a cp -rp, delete the
old dirs, and create the links. Shouldn't be any problems.
