Right, and they do.  But I think that  a very copy idiom is to copy binaries 
from some install directory (/opt/cfengine, say) to /var/cfengine on every 
local host, using NFS or native cfengine copy.

I guess that makes sense if /var/cfengine is your install directory.  If it is 
a (rather automated) destination/scratch directory for clients, it might be 
preferable to keep everything under one roof.
