That's a good idea. That way, you would be able to just type 'fluidsynth <midifile>' to play a song.
Can I also recommend having a standard environment variable SOUNDFONTPATH or similar which contains a colon-separated (semicolon on Windows) list of paths to search for soundfonts. That would be similar to LD_LIBRARY_PATH, Java's CLASSPATH or Python's PYTHONPATH which I can set in my .bashrc file to customise where I keep my SoundFonts. This would be searched in addition to (and in preference to) the default path. Which distros use /usr/share/soundfonts/ to store the soundfonts? Debian (or at least Ubuntu, so I assume Debian) uses /usr/share/sounds/sf2/.
