Umm, you may just move the file there easily, but that would
break most packages, until one went in and changed the
location the programs look in as well.
In eihter case, a sumbolic link in the old location would
serve quite well, until the packages were updated. (all programs
would then look in new location, look in old locatio and offer to
move; or ask the user and create in new location if nothing is in
either place).
I think this needs more investigation; how many cases are we
talking about here?
