ok i reviewed FHS and decided to not change the way Gentoo does it.
to summarize, Gentoo puts binaries in /usr/games/bin and gaming related
libraries in /usr/games/lib ... i dont know where you're getting this /usr/
games/share since no package should be using this ...
i dont like placing gaming related libraries into /usr/lib since nothing else
in the system cares about games ...
in my mind it makes people's lives easier if they want to restrict games ...
they only have to look at /usr/games/ and /usr/share/games/ rather than
trying to track down specific files/directories in a huge list in /usr/lib/
