[Toolserver-l] filesystem reorganisation

[Kate]

several users have complained about Zedler not having a GNU userland.
in an attempt to make the system easier to use for these people, some
changes are being made to where software is installed.

the most important change is the GNU software installed in /opt/csw/bin/
will be moving.   utilities which conflict with the base OS, such as
"ls", will move to /usr/local/gnu/bin/.  everything else (including
non-GNU software currently installed in /opt/csw) will move to
/usr/local/bin/.

as a result of this, if you want to use the GNU utilities by default,
you can place /usr/local/gnu/bin/ in your path prior to any other
directories (such as /usr/bin/).  if you don't want this, don't change
anything.

users using script interpreters (including Perl) currently installed in
/opt/csw/ will need to change their paths to the new locations these
tools will be at.

hopefully, once this is done, things will be a lot happier.  please let
me know if anything isn't working as it should.
