It appears that /usr/local was okay for earlier versions of OS X, but then
they removed it (as well as removing /usr/local/bin from the default
PATH). I don't know if installing to /usr by default is such a good idea.
At any rate, we need to fix the problem with it not creating the bin
directory if it doesn't exist.
