Sorry for being rpm centric:-) (I am a Mandrake user, hah!)  It of 
course applies to any precompiled package.

The common way is IMHO FHS compliant, and is what I actually try to say: 
if you do a make; make install from a tarball, default to /usr/local*, 
any :-) precompiled package should install to /usr*.
At least I think it is common, as about any package I compile defaults 
to /usr/local* (only few to /opt, which I hate).
So I think we have the same opinion, including the /share and /lib dirs.

Perhaps autoconf stuff could be used here as well for user to have a 
possibiliy to choose.
