Maybe Mac OS X can act here as the role model...

Under Mac OS X there is a directory "Developer/" in the root level. It is 
there only optionally, that is if you have installed the developer tools.

It contains the following subdirectories:

Applications/ - all the developer applications (like Projekt Builder or 
Interface Builder) reside here
Documentation/ - as its name says
Examples/ - some Examples
Headers/ - ONLY carbon stuff is here, the other headers reside in their 
frameworks, for instance Foundation.h is in 
 /System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework/Versions/C/Headers
Java/ - some Java support stuff like Headers/ and Jobs/ (don't what this 
is, maybe some double identity of HIM ;-))
Makefiles/ - makefiles stuff and resources
Palettes/ - IB palettes
PBBundles/ - obviously some Project Builder specific stuff
ProjectBuilder Extras/ - templates and plug ins
ProjektTypes/ - projekt templates
Tools/ - some tools which are not in /usr/bin/ (gcc and gdb for instance 
are in /usr/bin/)
