Believe it or not, this practice of using /usr/local was shunned by the
Solaris admins, probably still is.

They all suggested using like /opt for software not shipped with the OS.

The logic behind it was "someday", an OS update could move or replace the
/usr filesystem/directory path, thus losing everything under it like 
/usr/local.

That of course never happend in the 25+ years Solaris has been around but 
still seems to be a voodoo they avoid.
