Nicolas, this might show my naivite, but where should programs that aren't
intended to be run by users go? I recall working on some old archaic and
PITA SCO systems that quite a few useful programs end up in a lib directory,
but then they also put important system binaries in /etc, and they have
symlinks littering the whole tree, so that one could mount specific bits
read only over the network...

Thanks
