The FHS uses /opt for this situation if the user wants to install
packages clustered that way. I believe Sun may have invented that too 8)
The FHS position way back when was that /usr/X11* was a nasty that was
required by historical precedent but which it would be nice to
exterminate eventually. Hopefully the debrix work will provide a good
basis for that since autoconf is quite easy to train in this way.
