I'd still rather see rt3 instead.  Or better yet, rt-<version>, since
you might want to have multiple versions installed at the same time.

I think /usr/lib/rt-<version> is the best place, since I'm not really
sure that *all* the various perl libs are arch independent, esp the
DBI::, Digest::, etc.  Take a look at tools/testdeps and see what I
mean.

In any case, I think you need to put the VERSION of RT into the
$prefix.

No problems.
