well i read that as having two alternatives. either 

1) all of axiom can be put in one directory with symbolic links or 
2) axiom is spread across the system into many directories.

case 1 is clearly the current design and obviously not going to happen.

will case 2 work on MACOSX and FreeBSD?




whatever choices get made PLEASE don't put a .. in the path.
