I wouldn't say everybody. The guy who does a pkg_add from the CD
shouldn't be expected to.

Yes, it could install to /usr/local, then make a symlink from
/compat/linux to /usr/local/lib/linux, but I really don't think
that a port has any business mucking around outside of
it's ${PREFIX}. If this were the situation, someone would
do a pkg_delete and wonder why the symlink from /compat/linux was
left there. Although now if someone does a pkg_delete, the whole
messy mtree is left. :(
I'm open to suggestion here.

Yes, I know what it does. I just didn't think it was that big
a deal.
