At this point, it's still experimental: I'm not sure yet I'll push it
(if I get it to work).

Those files are used in nsswitch.conf. There's not much choice there: if
you need to use them, they must be in /usr/lib.
The idea is to put files in /opt/csw only, with a separate package with
only symlinks to make it an easy, optional installation for those who
want it. Better than let them mess with symlinks.

But obviously, the standard is too well respected, and there's not
enough practice of doing that, there are snags ;-)
