Hmm. I like it, but I also would like to see it partially conform to the
"standard" that seems to be existing in most packages. Notably, a tree
looking like this :

/usr/local/jabber

	README
	/bin (clients)
	/sbin (xrouter, transports, and scripts )
	/lib (libraries? currently they are all static, so this maybe unnecessary)
	/include (most likely unnecessary at this point as well)
	/man (yup)
	/share (not sure what the distinction is between this and the next one)
	/etc (but i do believe that the jabber.conf should be stored in one of them)
	/logs (not necessarily conforming, but i like logs better than var)

I like the idea of putting all the files under one tree, rather than
putting the man pages into a central directory. Most systems already have
several different man paths, and although it may be trickier for a user to
add the path, if they would want (heaven forbid) to delete jabber, it
would be easy to do so.

Let me know what you think of that.
