It really doesn't matter which way you do it, there are reasons for 
creating symlinks (when two programs are looking for the same data in 
two different places is the ideal time for a symlink rather than 
duplicating the data, another option would be to get one of the programs 
to look in the place that the other program is looking).  I would 
probably put the actuall dirrectory in myself, rather than creating a 
symlink.
