We put `unsupported' things in /uns/...

We have:

	/uns/bin -- at least one for each machine type (e.g., VAX,
		PMAX, Sequent, ...).  There is usally a `home' machine
		that all the other machines (of a given type) will NFS
		(Network File System) mount from at boot time.
	/uns/include -- same as /uns/bin
	/uns/lib -- same as /uns/bin
	/uns/man -- same as /uns/bin
	/uns/src -- a real directory on one machine, just mounted via
		NFS on most other machines.  This has a subdirectory
		`GNU' for all the GNU software.
	/uns/usr -- contains a soft link named `local' back to /uns.
		Then, when we build, say, gcc, we can just do

			make prefix=/uns
		
		and things that appear to be in, say,
		/uns/usr/local/bin, are really in /uns/bin, where we
		want them.


Works great!
