Right. Looking forward, Ikarus will be distributed with a set of
libraries (srfis, match, etc.) and these will have to go somewhere.
Where do you think these files would go? prefix/lib/ikarus or
prefix/share/ikarus? And if these files get pre-compiled to object
code, where would the object codes end?

I'll be looking at perl/python to see what they do.
