[Bf-committers] Installation/file paths

[Ken Hughes]

Before I comment, let me be sure I understand what's being proposed:

On Unix, the blender executable would most likely be /usr/bin/blender.  
So the proposal is to have a /usr/bin/datafiles folder for the system 
data files?  If so, I don't think that's a good idea, for Unix anyway.  
You don't expect to find any data in /usr/bin.
