Hi guys, well, as we can see, there are many approach to do this, but we need to follow a practical approach so, i'm in favor of a \bin directory for all fd packages and 3rd party sw should be separeted with their developers don't want to create a 'fdished package'
of course, this is my opinion and we must open it for vote, imho.... See YA!
