The basic problem with this is that, unless you have a program like
Stow to create the symlink farm, it will require that you modify your
PATH(s) to include the packages that you install. If you install
*many* packages this way, you could wind up with a *VERY* large PATH
that will break some shells (I know that csh has limitations on some
UNIXes). Therefore, this shouldn't be the default -- it can be
handled by configure options (like setting "prefix").
