I don't recall the URL (LenZ usuall posts it :( ), but you might want to do some reading on the FHS, or Linux Filesystem Hierarchy Standard. There's probably some useful linkage at http://www.linuxdoc.org.
It's in the fhs package as well.

The rpm idea sounds great, but I have a heck of a time just getting the tarballs installed. The README files I've seen are quick paragraphs with "do this" "do that" and "have fun", as if I knew what the heck they were talking about. But that's tangent ranting.
Fortunately, most packages make use of autoconf/automake. So it just takes ./configure make make install to get them compiled and installed. To make deinstallation of software you compiled yourself painless, check out instmon: http://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/admin/instmon-1.5.tar.gz Instmon monitors the installation process and keeps a list of installed files so they can easily be deleted when needed.
