Imagine the very optimistic situation where we have a distribution
like EasyMiNT, that apart from installing MiNT + XaAES, installs open
source desktop, and a group of open source GEM appiications (NetSurf,
zView, GEM front ends for UNIX tools, etc, etc), they are tested to
work properly in a ext2 partition and they are distributed and
installed in the distribution as rpm packages. Where should be this
application installed inside the sparemint directory tree?
