I think it would be useful to provide custom paths for things such as:

 + Logs (activity.*, *.log)
 + WCX (*.wcx)

The following suggestion would require sysops to rewrite/modify batch files;
however for those of us who would like to clean up our installation
directory much easier, maybe offering a way to set these paths if we wish to
use them for seperate directories; otherwise default them to the standard
\wc5 directory.

 + Executables (*.exe, *.hlp, *.cnt, *.chm) put in \wc5\bin
 + Library Files (*.dll) put in \wc5\lib

I'm not sure what Hector's plans are for the wcLISTSERVE data files when the
wcLISTSERVE is moved to using an ODBC type connection instead of using the
current data file format.  Maybe the wcLISTSERVE data files and mailing list
files could be moved from the \wc5 directory to either \wc5\config or
\wc5\data along with the other data/config files for Wildcat!  (same could
be applied to wcnews configuration too being moved to \wc5\config) ...

I'm just used to having an application folder that really don't contain much
of anything and all parts of a program are seperated into their component
type directories (binary files in \bin, library files in \lib, etc); however
making such a change like this would potentially mean a large architectural
change to Wildcat! which isn't all too important at the moment based on some
of the other things I'd like to see available (such as multi-web virtual
domain support and other HTTP/1.1 compatible functionality).

But I'm sure that over time Hector's going to continue to move us in the
right direction in order to keep Wildcat! on top :-)
