Hmm, anyone knows how ld does this? |

Err, they shouldn't live in /opt/kde$V at all, they should live in |
| 19 |
/usr/lib/kde$V or whatever, but not in /opt according to the scheme we |
| 20 |
(Gentoo developers) have decided to use. |

This was meant as a, please look at other distros before spending even |
| 35 |
more time on this issue. Perhaps they have come up with a good scheme. |
| 36 |
And if they hasn't people seem to be pretty happy with it anyway so |
| 37 |
perhaps it's not really needed. |
