It's not just the DEPENDS: an executable built with ROOT=/usr/local
becomes *copied/extracted* into /usr/local/usr/bin, but it _knows_
(compiled in) to run from /usr/bin.
ROOT is intended to "cross-bootstrap" (better words?) a stage{1,2,3} or
the like to be copied to another box - or used with 'chroot /usr/local',
which is not what i understand as how to use a secondary pkgm.
