[haiku-development] RFC: /usr symlink?

Anyone see any issues adding a /usr symlink to the default image?

LLVM has /usr/bin/env at the top of quite a few build scripts,
in the past i've solved the issue by checking for /usr and
symlinking it to /boot/system if it doesn't exist.

Adding a /usr symlink is definitely a workaround, but it likely
will make Linux ports to Haiku go more smoothly (and we aren't
really "going linux" by just adding a symlink.

Thoughts?

As a refresher, here is / as it stands today:

bin  -> /boot/system/bin
boot
dev
etc > /boot/system/settings/etc
Haiku -> /boot
packages -> /boot/system/package-links
system -> /boot/system
tmp -> /boot/system/cache/tmp
var -> /boot/system/var
