[Inkscape-devel] empty directories

Hi,

To the best of my knowledge, by default several empty directories are created by Inkscape installations: $PREFIX/share/gradients, fonts and patterns. I've already seen several times people asking, where they can find patterns or gradients for Inkscape, because they think that something is supposed to be put there :)

Should we get rid of them until we properly support that functionality?

And do we have some kind of vision for patterns/gradients libraries?
