Except that Ruby is pre-FHS, and FHS is a provincial standard not
accepted by everyone in the Linux world in any case. Quite honestly,
FHS is a mess and isn't something to be strived for. If you want
something more useful, follow the BSD structure as a guide. But Ruby,
since it's highly portable, should best be handled by Ruby.
