wtf is that ?

autotools is a portable build system that has been around for more than 2 
decades and has no problem defaulting to /usr/local.  people on every 
imaginable *nix system (and more) have used it with that default.

i'm not saying i care one way or the other wrt /usr vs /usr/local default (as 
any reasonable distro will simply override it), but at least don't just make 
random stuff up when trying to defend a position.
