hmmm, I'm sort of agreeing to Alan here. We should tend to:

a) keep only real System V and BSD4.3 (that's the old school for you folks that
don't know ;) style standard lookup paths.

b) all others places should be inherited via CFLAGS and LDFLAGS env variables in
the ./configure call, or via the configure own option switches.

So the big question is: Is /opt/local really that common under MacOS X?

Any others that run MacOS that can comment?
