Would any other webserver ports want to use www/htdocs or www/cgi-bin directories?

Should we subdir them; www/${name}/htdocs and www/${name}/cgi-bin?

I personally put all my files in other locations using apache configuration files. If others do commonly use these dirs and a port conflict develops, it could be a pain for the user to reconfigure a bunch of stuff if we move these dirs later. The existing apache2 port does write files to DocumentRoot and cgi-bin.
