New description:
While we are at it, move the gap install to `$SAGE_LOCAL/gap/gap.x.y.z`.
Its not cool to put anything but libraries into `/lib`. Also, make a
symlink `latest` -> `gap-x.y.z` so that not every script has to figure out
the current version number. This follows what is usually done with java,
another offender who can't install in a standards-compliant manner:
{{{
[vbraun@laptop ~]$ ll /usr/java
total 8
drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root 4096 Jul 9 17:37 jdk1.7.0_03
drwxr-xr-x. 8 root root 4096 Jul 9 17:37 jdk1.7.0_05
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 21 Jul 9 17:37 latest -> /usr/java/jdk1.7.0_05
}}}

Comment:
Naturally, nobody dared to review this ticket. So GAP released the next
version in the meantime. Updated to gap-4.5.6.
