// the problem is that i don't want to do it.

and, for the record, i wasn't suggesting you do so. given the very
different needs (and tastes) at different sites, i generally think
the best route for a package maintainer is to aim for the general
target (/usr/local/plan9 or whatever) and provide a sane way to
build in other places and modify what the default location for tools
to look is. i think rsc's dist does that nicely, and (were i still
in a heterogeneous environment) allows me to do either the symlink
or environment variable tricks just fine.
