Hmm, I had thought that this was more than just a choice between /usr/* and 
/usr/local/*.

Maybe everything's getting sorted out lately, and I just have some really old 
stuff lying around.  Certainly I wouldn't complain about /usr/* vs. 
/usr/local/* if it were certain what the structure was underneath.

Looking at my .pdrc below, I guess that a lot of makefiles havent't really 
included "install" targets, or else I didn't bother to use them.  Truth to be 
told, I should prune this thing, and maybe things are getting better and some 
of these paths are now empty.

But still, remaning suspects are the vasp and iemlib* libraries.
