how about moving all the other /compat stuff to /usr/compat too - the root
filesystem is the wrong place for it and if you have it on a seperate disk you
can also mount it onto /usr/compat instead of compat - so why not simply
putting it to /usr/compat
this way we may put the FreeBSD stuff there too and have a very consistent
sheme for it (i think)
/usr/compat/linux
/usr/compat/ibcs2
/usr/compat/freebsd
/usr/compat/netbsd
and whatever - howabout that ? (include all changes in the emulation code to
switch from /compat to /usr/compat)
