Ok, so Module::Build would look for a sharedir in Config.pm and
File::ShareDir would do the same?
That sounds reasonable, but what about an application which simply wants
to decide on some install path (managing runtime reads itself - without
the help of File::ShareDir)? I think this might get into the whole
business of PREFIX, which is that unix folks expect that they can
install in $PREFIX/share/myapp or something, but IIRC not even OS X
fully supports this notion of a PREFIX.

So malloc calls a timeout and starts rummaging around the free chain,
sorting things out, and merging adjacent small free blocks into larger
blocks. This takes 3 1/2 days.
