[Sunhelp] /opt

[Christopher J Ceska]

/opt makes me sick.

with that said, I find that it varies from shop to shop.  We use /usr/local
for everything - it makes sense, and we do a lot of our own packaging. We
try to avoid /opt at all costs.  Some sun stuff installs in /opt no matter
what, so we reserve opt for 'optional sun binary packages' and nothing else.

I think /usr/local is a good practice, I am sure people would argue.
