How odd.  That is one of the things I don't like about OSX, its file
structure.  Is there some particlual reason you want to do this?  Or is
it the reason why I find myself doing silly things. BECAUSE I CAN. hehe

As far as the logisistics of doing this...  I suspect it will be less
than simple.  However, I have never tried such a task, so I really don't
know.  Well, at least not if you want to do things like use a package
manager to install/update packages, or remembering to set all the
--prefix and such lines correctly when you compile new software.

I bet it will keep you busy though. :)
