14 Hi!
15
16 I've brought up this issue before. The main reason for this is to be
17 able to say, I want all GNOME-stuff in /usr/local/gnome instead of
18 /opt/gnome (for example).
19
20 However if we decide to move everything to /usr this won't be an issue
21 anymore.
22
23 BTW. Testing your Mozilla ebuild right now.

25 Regards,
26 Mikael
