I want to hear many opinions, because it is not my own theme but
all porters'.

In fact, most of apps related Qt expect libs and headers staying at
$QTDIR/{lib,include}. Now its headers is installed to $X11BASE/include/qt2,
so at least one patch must be made for the app's port.

The point of an argument is like which do you place emphasis on,
FreeBSD's hier or few patch and easy step for porting, I think.
