The problem is that I don't remember it and when I google for it, it
seems to be that I confused it with something else. IIRC there where
plans to make it easier to install software independent of dependencies.
Perhaps a misunderstanding or wrong remembrance. I guess each software
should get it's own directory, similar to /opt/software_foo.
