OK, plan includes the following:

  binaries: plan, netplan (netwwork server), notifier, pland (daemon)

  examples: holiday files for various countries

  docs: various docs and scripts for generating different doc formats

  perl script: script for killing pland

  miscellaneous: pixmap, resource files for Monocrome and Black&White, README

  netplan directory: needed to be mode 777 for netplan, used for shared appointments

The binaries go in /usr/local/bin (easy), examples in /usr/local/share/doc/plan,
docs in /usr/local/share/doc, perl script in /usr/local/etc(?), miscellaneous
in /usr/local/share/doc/plan(?).

What about the netplan directory?  In the unpatched distribution, it wanted to go
in /usr/local/lib/netplan.dir.  Should it be /usr/local/etc/netplan.dir?

I kind of used samba as my basis for making /usr/local/plan (is samba still
/usr/local/samba?), but I don't like this because you have to add
/usr/local/(plan,samba)/bin to your search path.
