Well, I've got a popular BBS package that recently went GPL ported and running great on FreeBSD... my question is how important is it ti use $PREFIX/bin, sbin, etc, and so forth? I'll have the port submitted by the time an actual release of the software is out (most likely with the month) but it is really used to having everything under one directory due to it's origin in the DOS world. Not many places actually ASSUME that everything is in that dir, but a good number of them do. How acceptable is creating a new directory under $PREFIX to contain the whole package?
