not true, SVR4 have /usr/ccs/{bin,include,lib}.
isn't it AIX which have /usr/bsd ?
Solaris have mixed things like /usr/ucb, /usr/ucb{include,lib} plus
/usr/xpg4/{bin,include,lib} and SVR4 ccs.
Tru64 have many /usr/XXX/{bin,include,lib} and maybe /usr/ucb ?
HP-UX 9 have /bin/posix, but don't remember where this move under HP-UX 10.
