Where to install files

This question is not really contested. It will vary by distribution, and is
really up to the packager. As a guideline, the current 'make install' process
seems to behave such that if we pick a single PREFIX, then :

 1. all binary files go into PREFIX/bin,
   
 2. all library files go into PREFIX/lib,
   
 3. all include files go into PREFIX/include,
   
 4. all documentation files go into PREFIX/doc/wine,
   
 5. and man pages go into PREFIX/man,
   

Refer to the specific information on the Debian package and the OpenLinux
package for specific details on how those packages are built.

The question of /opt/wine

The FHS 2.1 specification suggests that Wine as a package should be installed
to /opt/wine. None of the existing packages follow this guideline (today; check
again tomorrow).
