Right.  This memo apparently didn't go out to the ncurses and opengl
maintainers.

I fixed that months ago. ncurses test programs now install into /usr/lib/ncurses/; none of the current ncurses sub-packages install anything into subdirs of /usr/bin/.


FWIW, I think the /opt tree is PRECISELY the right thing to do with regards to the un-optimized lapack DLLs. With PATH manipulations, binaries like octave.exe can find the "appropriate" lapack DLLs -- unoptimized if /opt/lapack/bin is the only dir in PATH containing them; optimized if the local administrator installs optimized versions somewhere (/usr/local/bin?) and takes affirmative steps to ensure that /usr/local/bin precedes /opt/lapack/bin in $PATH.
