Peter, did you experiment with the approach that we came up with during
summer camp? Put dummy CAS scripts in the package which hand over to the
real CAS scripts in /opt/csw/somewhere. This way we wouldn't need to
have our CAS scripts beneath /usr.

Does the user get prompted with "do you really want the package to do
things that you probably don't care about"?
