Perhaps we could create symlinks to the files in /usr/local/bin
from /usr/bin on MacOSX if we don't want to install there? Although in
that case it wouldn't matter if we do or not, I guess... anyway, I think
Allegro should work out of the box on MacOSX without problems. So if Apple
considers it good form to install to /usr/ rather than /usr/local/ I think
we should follow their guidelines.
Sucks that they have removed /usr/local/bin from the default path anyway.
