For example I've got gcc-3.3.4 installed in /opt/gcc-3.3.4, which I use for the exceptional case gcc-3.4.3 does not work.
And I've got symlinks in /opt: kde->kde-3.5 and qt->qt-3.3.4 I don't want the bindir in /opt/kde-3.5 appear twice in the PATH. Maybe harmless, but still. And: The environment variable QTDIR needs to be set (when building packages that depend on qt). You have to do this via a dedicated file qt.sh in /etc/profile.d.
