Ideal most of the time, but I have this gut feeling that one ought to
keep utilities distinct if they are not part of the distribution.  At
minimum they make it easier when rebuilding the system to remember
what one has added.  It's easy enough to bind /386/pub to /bin, but it
would be nice if there was a firm convention; /386/bin is pretty firm.

Judgement call, I guess.
