alright, but i'm not the author of the pccts-xxxx.ebuild,
that already exists and i just thought the symlinks
should be made there as part of a post-install or whatever
cdrdao's configure is lookin' in the right places

shall i send a modified ebuild for pccts ?
and besides that, should /usr/lib/pccts/bin/* be the symlinks to
/usr/bin/* or the other way round ?
i'm not quite sure whether the paths are hard-coded in the sources...

thanks and ciao

If you're willing to fix the ebuild, there should be no symlinks.  Everything
should just be relocated to the correct location.
