On this Mac OS X malarkey it's /opt/local, apparently. Even though
there is a /usr/local. Which just strikes me as peculiar to say the
least. Then again, I've only been using Linux for seven years, not
*BSD or the other extended relatives, so maybe this is normal in those
parts, much in the same way that you can marry your sister in some
distant tribes.
