Most people are used to seeing their software in /usr/local/ on GNU/Linux
and other places. I guess I should've been more clear that, if you wanted
to see it there specifically, then do this.

No, I have no problem with the philosophy of pre-build packages. I didn't
mean to seem so dismissive.

The bulk package m68060 machine is chugging away. After losing the disk
on which building was occurring midway through a build, it's a bit behind,
but the new disks hopefully will prove to be more reliable.
