No longer.  And it put stuff there only because that's where you told
it to put Perl.  I build into /opt for everything, and have never had

The rest of the suggestions in this thread are welcome, but I still
think we need to consider that fink is likely to be used by
power-compilers like me as well as naive compilers that simply want
access to cool Unix binaries for OSX.
