Installation of xkb files

There is some difference in how the xkb files are organized and I want 
it cleared up for the packages.

In the distributed archives and after running Xinstall.sh, the files are 
in /etc/X11/xkb, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb is a symlink to that, and 
/etc/X11/xkb/compiled is a broken symlink. The symlink looks like it was 
meant to be in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb.

With "make install", /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb contains the files, 
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/compile is a symlink to /etc/X11/xkb.

On Linux, the files are in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb, /etc/X11/xkb is a 
symlink to that, and /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb is a symlink to /var/lib/xkb.

Anyone understand what is going on. Has anyone used XKB and have a 
preference?
