This is an argument for compiling critical binaries statically by 
default (something I wish Redhat would do with RPM, so that upgrading 
isn't such a mission), but as to the filesystem layout, having a non FHS 
package on the system means I must partition my system differently just 
for FDS, which isn't ideal.

I think it would be ideal to include the option for supporting both 
standalone and FHS, to keep everyone happy.

Graham
