greetings,

say you're developing "tool 1.0".

say tool has some config files you want in an etc directory and some
state files you want in a lib directory.  say you want tool under
</usr/local/>.

do you prefer this layout:

     /usr/local/etc/tool/...
     /usr/local/lib/tool/...

or this layout:

     /usr/local/tool/etc/...
     /usr/local/tool/lib/...

and why?

i know both work.  i've used both.  but i'm curious as to the reasons
you fine folks choose one over the other.

thanks,
david
