[csw-maintainers] docdir and datadir for gxx packages

Excerpts from Dagobert Michelsen's message of Fri Jun 15 15:31:39 -0400 2012:

If we're building with both compilers, this would be via modulation,
right?  The merge should just land one version over the other and we
then split that out into something both package depend on.  If we only
build with one compiler or the other, it wouldn't be a problem.

The only problem I could see is if for some reason the data in those
directories isn't agnostic about what uses it and embeds paths to the
gxx directory...that shouldn't happen but I wouldn't be that it
doesn't. :)

Thanks
