[Slackbuilds-users] Slackbuild for nagios 3.x

I have been using a slackbuild script to compile nagios 2.x for a couple
years. The script was written by Stefano Stabellini. Now that 3.x is
available, I thought it would be a good idea to review the script and
update it for 3.x. As I've only hacked through a couple of these, I
seek some wise counsel before I change too much.
My big question is around the directory layout. Nagios has several
moving parts and I want to ensure the install locations are normalized
for Slackware.
Here are the pieces and the directory from the current script
main nagios exe - /usr/bin
cgi exes - /usr/libexec/nagios
web interface root - /usr/share/nagios
run file - /var/lib/nagios
config dir - /etc/nagios
Additionally, there is a separate package of nagios plugins
plugins - /usr/libexec/nagios
Looking over the guidance for writing scripts at slackwiki.org, I was
considering the following layout and would like any comments you might have.
main nagios exe - /usr/bin
cgi exes - /usr/local/nagios/cgi
web interface root - /usr/local/nagios
run file - /var/nagios
config dir - /etc/nagios
plugins - /usr/local/nagios/plugins
