Thanks, I appericiate that -- for keeping them as they are.
The way --enable-split-usr, together with fine-grained
--with-root{libdir,prefix}, as they are now, are perfect for splitting
files where
they belong to. Then again, I can only speak for udev, as I'm only
building and installing it's files.
