I agree with Andrew.  We have enough problems maintaining the optify hack 
without having to worry about other people creating files/directories 
in /opt/maemo.  Consider /opt/maemo reserved for maemo-optify.

But I would encourage people to do their own optification if that is feasible.  
In particular, for new apps, please avoid automatic optification and put your 
files in /opt yourself.  Feel free to create a different /opt direcotry 
(say /opt/MaemoApp) if you want to put lots of small apps in one place.

It would be helpful if tools like MADDE and QtCreator would handle this 
automatically for people.
