There has been a discussion where to put the LaTeX stuff. Our idea was to
move all platform-independent things into the new share directory. This
directory structure was an idea of Petr on 2005-01-27 in patch
#1040192. The new structure would mean that, for example, also the "lisp"
and "pm3d" directories could move into this directory. This would decrease
the number of top-level directories.

I like the idea of a new structure
  share/LaTeX
  share/pm3d
  share/lisp
instead of top-level directories. And I agree that it was nonsense if the
other directories are not moved there, too.

Best regards
Harald
