   if mbse is precompiled non opensource its should install in /opt, if one   
   compiles local it should stick to fhs with /usr/local prefixing, simple to   
   break things if one wants   
      
   when i get around to do the gentoo ebuild it would be using fhs prefixing with   
   /usr   
      
   i will for the last time say:   
      
   /opt       : is for optical packages that is not installed via opensource that   
   is compiled local   
   /usr/local : bsd default make, make install, did you see freebsd use /usr ?   
   /usr       : linux default native local compile prefixing
