Comment(by jmr@…):
The reasons why we don't default to installing in /usr/local are covered
in the FAQ. I don't recall any reason being given for disabling it
entirely beyond it breaking macfuse. I pointed out to blb at the time that
there might be users with a legitimate reason to use it, and he responded
that we could relax the restriction if anyone complained, by adding a --i
-understand-that-usr-local-is-unsupported configure option or whatever.
So, now someone has complained (for the first time as far as I'm aware).
