I agreed that it makes sense to move Unmanaged handling to
SyminkProgram. SymlinkProgram can be though as a 'EnableProgram'
script, and one step required when enabling a program is copying is
Unamanaged content. I'm not sure about Disable/RemoveProgram removing
the Unamanaged files from the system. It's probably ok, since it is
more or less what regular distros do to ALL their files :)



Is it a simple "cp -r"?  Maybe UpdateSettings could be repurposed.

I'd vote for hardlinks! So the Unmanaged files doesn't take up twice the
diskspace.

Please, no. I'm all in favor of avoiding duplicate files, but hard links can't work across different filesystems, and my installation is spread out across multiple hard drives (primarily because I'm too cheap to buy larger drives). Could it move the files out of Unmanaged, then symlink them back?
