automatically - check for directory existence. I do this in ncurses
for the Ada95 and c++ directories. I did a part of this in the lynx
script this week while trying to get the Solaris gettext stuff to work.
It just isn't noticeable - but look at the @INTLDIR_MAKE@ substitutions
in makefile.in, for example.

different packages do different things. I don't know that there's a
standard - just different groups of people develop their own conventions.
(I'm aware that ncurses is bundled as an add-on to glibc2, though the
mechanism looks rather complex to me).
