Well, it depends.  If I want the app-defaults file to be found via the
search path method, I will have to have a big path variable, or symlink
the files.

Same goes for include files and libraries (shared libraries definitely
have to be symlinked because they need to be registered and I don't
want to fiddle with /etc/rc every time I add a new library).
