That should be the default, since it will then have a default prefix
of /usr/local.  I guess you could argue that if you do ./configure
--prefix=/usr it should look in /usr/local too, but I'm not entirely
convinced that is a good idea.  If you believe otherwise, please do
feel free to try to convince me.
