The reason I think that shortcuts/symlinks offer the best solution is
that some software is going to look for stuff where the installation
program says it put it. If you move it there is a danger the program
won't find it. With the shortcut/symlink approach, the tricks occur at
run time as well as at install time. IN THEORY.
