And I thought it was advisable to put the extras in /var. Then again,
Apache uses /var/www, for example, for the default location of the web
page itself; as you say, the rest is in /etc.

Sorry, when you say "accept mono without the numbers", does that mean
to leave alone mono folders that aren't specifically Mono 2.2 by name?

And how does nant figure in this? I have it installed, and have used
it sometimes for building OpenSim, although I normally install the
OSGrid binaries.
