Well now, that's just fscking brain dead. Putting data files into areas of the 
file system where executables were there first. Tut, tut, tsk, tsk.

Now that I think about it, I recall layman doing something like this the first 
time I used it. It drives me batty, along with portage putting the tree in 
/usr/portage so now layman.cfg has this on all my machines

storage   : /var/portage/local/layman

and I *always* change $PORTDIR to be /var/portage


I'd forgotten *why* I always do this. Thanks for the reminder.
