	Also note that /usr/local is not a good prefix to use
for MacPorts.  Some ports have specific instructions to
ignore /usr/local as they (would otherwise) automatically
search /usr/local and pick up items that users had
manually (or otherwise outside of MacPorts) installed,
which can result in confusion and later breakage.
