I think one of the major obstacles is to get the mainline cygwin
maintainers to "approve" the /opt directory tree. There has been some
discussion of this in the past, but it always ends in not wanting it
because they say so. One might say why not
/usr/X11R6/{qt2|qt3|kde2|kde3}? To that I say bah! The way it is
supposed to be is /opt is for large or excessively significant addons to
the system. This way one avoids cluttering up the X11R6 directory. Most
distros use /opt for kde and Ralph currently uses it. Is there really a
good reason why cygwin shouldn't use /opt for kde (possible gnome as
well)? Feel free to disagree...
Cheers,
Nicholas
