No this currently got changed from "share/ooRexx/native.api" to 
"share/ooRexx/samples/native.api".

On MacOS there would be a directory layout for Frameworks and Applications that 
Apple suggests
(therefore the layout of the Mac BSF4ooRexx installer is structured the way it 
is, cf. [1], [2]).
Looking at different MacOS installations in the /Applications folder shows that 
application
developers do not necessarily adhere to the Apple suggested layout. As such I 
think you are free to
define any directory structure that you think is intuitive and helpful.
