I am slowly integrating pypy into FreeBSD Port's Collection, with the eventual 
goal of installing third party python based ports (i.e. setup.py and such).  
FreeBSD follows a standard (I think) posix directory layout.  As such I wanted 
the pypy binary to live in $PREFIX/bin and the libraries in $PREFIX/lib.  

The convention for cPython is to have the libraries as $PREFIX/lib/python2.7, 
so for pypy I wanted to have $PREFIX/lib/pypy1.9 (although I did consider 
$PREFIX/lib/pypython2.7), which leaves the lib_pypy libraries.  These cannot 
be renamed to anything such as pypy1.9 so I stuck them within the standard 
libraries directory.  A condition for this is the libraries cannot conflict 
with cPython.  

Previously I had an explicit directory $PREFIX/pypy-1.9 where I had all the 
files (including the binary) with sym-links for the binaries to $PREFIX/bin.  
This, however, I considered less clean.
