Just to get this settled, Caldera has licesned the wabi source code from
SUN, and they are porting it over to linux. It most likely will cost
money, because Sun doesn't just give away the source code. If you want

make /usr/local a very dangerous place to play. :)
I hope that Debian will make a policy of staying out of /usr/local.
