* From: Ade Lovett <ade@FreeBSD.org>
* Gah! How on earth are we going to implement that?
That's why we have been pushing for PREFIX-clean ports! Once we get
them where we want (in its own tree), creating a bunch of symlinks is
easy. ("man lndir")
* Also, we've been talking about reducing the number of inodes in
* the port skeletons, whereas this will (at least) double the number
* of them for installed programs.
Number of files and directories in port skeletons is a problem because
there are a bunch of small files. Installed software have much bigger
average file sizes so this is not that much of a concern.
