OK, but where is that "Don't Walk" sign posted? As I did not see it, maybe
I've overlooked something else...

1- Suggestion for locating application-specific directories, please?
/usr/sbin seems a good candidate to me, as there are alreay some
subdirectories for awk, gnuplot, emacs... But maybe there is another
low-visibility "Don't Walk" sign over there...
2- Does it need to be done ASAP or can I wait for the next release?
