Why?  It makes it much easier for the right and necessary things (like
xpm or xfaces libraries) to be seen and used.

Steve, you work on Linux so it may be much easier for you to add
things to /usr hierarchy.  However, on most of commercial Unixes,
people want to have /usr clear for the default shipped stuff, and put
their custom libraries and binaries (which often work *better* than
the original things) under /usr/local.
