OK, I won't worry about SWF for now.

prefabs and docs, definitely. Samples and testsuite, sure, why not.

Sorry, I don't find these or any other fonts in the ploticus source. Where
do they come from? Does ploticus depend on them? Just for SWF, or for
other formats too? Should they go into a font package instead?

Or how about this:
rm -f /usr/bin/pl
ln -s /usr/bin/ploticus /usr/bin/pl
:) Just kidding... but how annoying that Prolog has already
claimed /usr/bin/pl... what the heck is Prolog anyway? Is anyone using it?
Seriously though, under your proposal, if a user installed ploticus and
then
later installed SWI-Prolog, would it cause a problem that /usr/bin/pl
already existed?
