Right. This memo apparently didn't go out to the ncurses and opengl
maintainers.
I fixed that months ago. ncurses test programs now install into
/usr/lib/ncurses/; none of the current ncurses sub-packages install
anything into subdirs of /usr/bin/.
FWIW, I think the /opt tree is PRECISELY the right thing to do with
regards to the un-optimized lapack DLLs. With PATH manipulations,
binaries like octave.exe can find the "appropriate" lapack DLLs --
unoptimized if /opt/lapack/bin is the only dir in PATH containing them;
optimized if the local administrator installs optimized versions
somewhere (/usr/local/bin?) and takes affirmative steps to ensure that
/usr/local/bin precedes /opt/lapack/bin in $PATH.
