- Furthermore, I don't think that this would involve terribly many
- symbolic links. Most files which go into places like /usr/lib
- don't really *need* to be there. They just have nowhere else to
- go. For example, stuff like the tex fonts could go in /packages/tex.
- You need links for executables and libraries, and one link in
- /usr/include to the subdirectory containing the package's header
- files. And man pages and info files. But that's about it, right?
