This is not really correct, each user should decide where to install libraries,
he may even want to install them to /opt/cppcms so he can easily remove
them afterwards. Only packagers generally install to `/usr`.

So I rolled back changed and added this to troubleshooting page with description
of the issue so user can fix it even if library is installed into hist home 
directory.

Generally most users that used any compiled library at least one know how to 
solve this issue/
Also the issue is common for every ELF platform like BSD, Solaris or Linux.

I agree, there lots of questions lately so updated FAQ is very useful!

Your inputs would be more then wellcome.

CppCMS 0.99.1 is on beta stages so documentation is far from being complete, but
it will be much better when the stable version will be released.

This would be very useful, thanks, especially inputs from 
experienced web developer point of view - somebody who codes from other world.
