OK. The proposal last time was something like:
pub/XFree86/${OSNAME}[-${RELNAME}]/${VERSION}/XF86prog.tgz
For the prog tarball (to use a convenient example). Thus, for FreeBSD 3.0
you might have:
pub/XFree86/FreeBSD-3.0/3.3.3/XF86prog.tgz
pub/XFree86/FreeBSD-3.0/3.3.3/XF86bin.tgz

Oh, there's another idea. OK, I agree, and I think it would be best
to put them into the bin tarball for now until I've had the chance to
make a new installation category for "alib" - I think it would best
obey POLA at this time of transition.

Erm, sorry. Brain-o. :) Yes, I meant /usr/X11R6/lib/aout
