that's exactly what i was trying to prevent. sentences like "I dont
think it matters where you install it". heck, openoffice will run if
i install it into /var/lib/openoffice or
/etc/X11/WindowMaker/openoffice, but that's *not* in accordance with
the FHS just as much as installing system-wide software into /home is
not in accordance with the FHS.
