Summary: Environment variables in symlinks

The scheme that Apollo uses for multiple unvierses would work nice here.
The use environment variables in their links, which allows the links to
point to different things. e.g.
	/bin     is a link to /$(systype)/bin
	/usr/bin is a link to /$(systype)/usr/bin
and they have /bsd? and /sys5.  The same system could be easily adapted for
multiple processor types.
