Yep, /usr/lib64 and /usr/local/lib64 is the standard in at least Mandriva and 
Fedora/RedHat for 64 bits

The cmake build allows you to build in /usr if you want, just need pass a 
different install prefix in cmake commmand line.
The reason why i'm making /usr/local default is follow the old install place 
making easy for mapguide looking for.

I did, but is up to packager choice.  There's a simple reason behind this been 
effective which is the no need to install a mysql when you just need the 
postgis provider, or unixodbc libraires when you need just the dhp provider.
There's one issue in split tough, the providers.xml file is not "flexible" as a 
point to add/remove new providers entry instaling or not. I'm thinking in a 
xml parser in trigger on post/postun of each package, but would ugly as hell.
