By default, $package will be installed in $dflt/bin, manual
pages under $dflt/man, etc..., i.e. with $dflt as prefix for
all installation directories. Typically set to /usr/local, but you
may choose /usr if you wish to install $package among your system
binaries. If you wish to have binaries under /bin but manual pages
under /usr/local/man, that's ok: you will be prompted separately
for each of the installation directories, the prefix being only used
to set the defaults.
