You mean make /usr/local a symlink to either /opt/sfw or /usr/sfw, whichever one I have? Well, probably due to answering some question wrong (or maybe right?), I have *both*. Perhaps best to make /usr/local a symlink to something on a different partition, and keep them all separate, so that the companion-disk stuff stays in an sfw-dir, and the stuff I build can go in the /usr/local, where so much stuff still seems to want to live.
