- Rather than letting the user to choose any directory, the installer
can ask the user to choose whether it is for system or for user, if
system, ask password and install in /opt/local/, if user, install in
$(HOME)/opt/local

The major downside of a user install is that prefix paths are absolute,
which means that instead of /opt/local it will be /Users/afb/opt/local.
And since the archives and packages include this path, that means those
can't be used either... Unless they were already relocatable, that is.
