One problem with getting general FHS compliance that I can see is that
the FHS doesn't have anything analogous to the Network or user
domains.
Well, Network is _roughly_ like /opt and user domains are basically
in ~ (~/bin, ~/lib if you wish to have that).
I think the bigger issue is that while it has PATH and
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, standard Unix does not provide a "resource lookup
path" (in what sequence to scan share directories).
Which is why most GNU-like/autoconf-based tools specify their
"location" at compile time (--prefix). Which is fine in realworld but
certainly not perfect.
BTW: I still think that its unnecessary to force .app wrappers into
FHS. FHS should be for low level libraries and tools/daemons. (just
like on MacOSX)
