They should be fixed to be properly shareable, or they should go into
/usr/libdata.

If there were to be 'byte-order-dependent' chunks of share, certainly
they should be better names than what you propose...  but there
shouldn't be.

Well, then, by all means, get in touch with Keith Bostic, and do it!
However, I doubt you'll find it that easy... because if it were, he'd
have done it already, i'd guess.

Of course, there's always 'ed' (and i'm not joking).
