I should have mentioned that I did an archival install, which may be  
part of it. But yes, it trashes all of /usr/local. This is probably  
why darwin ports installs into /opt, which didn't seem to get trashed.  
I haven't had a chance to re-install fish yet, but maybe I should  
install it to /opt/ for next time :>
