That sounds good.
Keep in mind though that some people will want
to use Euphoria on a shared host machine
where they might not have permission to put stuff
into /usr/share

For instance, on both OpenEuphoria.org (Linux)
and RapidEuphoria.com (FreeBSD) the 
/usr/share directory exists, but I don't have permission
to create a subdirectory there. I could ask someone for
permission, but I'd rather not have to involve those people.
