FHS conformance would be nice, but it's a lot of work.  (A lot more
than you think, anyway.)  I once had it going, but then some changes
that had been made to configure.in at the time killed all that.  Some
day, when I'm feeling sufficiently masochistic to deal with &"!/($
autoconf, I'll try to resurrect that work.
