The MacOSX file system hierarchy is a mix of two subsystems.
I think that proper way is make variable PREFIX or ROOT gives

Problem is that one folder is not enough, because you still need access to
the "classic" Unix  hierarchy (/usr/bin, /bin, /sbin).
Perhaps you also want to use two or more prefixes.
Hm.. but why? I'd use symlinks eg. /usr/bin/wc -> /opt/gentoo/bin/wc, what resolves those problems.

The question which executable to start begins to look like path resolution
in a Unix shell, which I don'Ät really wan to implement
in a simple frontend script.
Global envioment variable eg. PREFIX ponting to /opt/gentoo/ in shellscripts?

What do You think about it? And why not? :-)
