I *knew* this was going to bite us in the ass. I brought it up at E-day
time... and was ignored.
Some body please decide where bits should live. *IF* you upgrade from
2.2.x to 3.x, your /usr/lib a.out libs are moved to /usr/lib/aout, *AND*
your /usr/lib/compat a.out libs are moved to /usr/lib/compat/aout. Fine.
NOW if you look at the compat2{0,1} bits we shipped with 3.2, they
install into /usr/lib/compat/. Thus we have no consistancy. So compat22
is no more broken than ``make aout-to-elf''.
