Hope this will happen in the near future...

QSSL has no way with consistency ??

Just a joke!
You mean consitency with QSSL ... if there is a consistent behavior.

This is just consistent to the rest of the XFree86 world ... the /opt directory was choosen
in order to avoid a conflict with the old Xphoton implementation ...installed in /usr.

/usr/X11R6 is the STANDARD for XFree86 ... QSSL should not ignore this.
