Well, Network is _roughly_ like /opt and user domains are basically  
in ~ (~/bin, ~/lib if you wish to have that).

I think the bigger issue is that while it has PATH and  
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, standard Unix does not provide a "resource lookup  
path" (in what sequence to scan share directories).
Which is why most GNU-like/autoconf-based tools specify their  
"location" at compile time (--prefix). Which is fine in realworld but  
certainly not perfect.

BTW: I still think that its unnecessary to force .app wrappers into  
FHS. FHS should be for low level libraries and tools/daemons. (just  
like on MacOSX)
