Read the spec and look at the PATH.  Many different dirs can be used,
they just need to be put into the lookup path.

I still don't see what's ugly about a dir with 300 files, if it's a system
dir where no user ever needs to wander.  300 files is ugly in your home
directory, but not in a system directory.
