It's not a problem. $bindir is for sissies! I have no problem with the
sun4bin directory name (I don't even use it). We made that standard a while
ago and the user community is used to it, so just leave it. The problem in
the watchmaker locker was that there was a symlink to handle all of the
OS/hardware combos. All one of of you has to do is make a directory for the
41x family so I can install iscreen. I'd have done it myself, but I don't
have write access to that locker.
