install should not create thridparty directory in prefix directory #125

thirdparty software install creates a directory ${prefix}/thirdparty. This violates unix/linux filesystem organization rules (seee man hier). These should probably go in ${prefix}/lib/znapzend/thirdparty

the idea is to install in /opt/znapzend-$version in that case all is fine. but I agree if you want to throw it into /usr then this does not work well ...

Be careful with zones: /usr/local is inherited and /opt is not http://compgroups.net/comp.unix.solaris/-usr-local/354465
