Comment(by vinc17@…):

 Replying to [comment:11 mww@…]:
 > As discussed on macports-dev@, we will use
 {{{${prefix}/libexec/gnubin}}} as the directory for un-prefixed GNU
 executables.

 IMHO, this choice would not be a good idea, because
 {{{${prefix}/libexec}}} and its subdirectories shouldn't be in the user's
 path. Also this wouldn't solve the problem of man pages. How about
 {{{${prefix}/gnu/bin}}} and {{{${prefix}/gnu/share/man}}} for the binaries
 and the man pages respectively?
