Time has come to stop with /usr/local path pollution!

We really must stop with the path pollution that you guys include into the
configuration process.  I just lost 2 hours trying to figure out why it
couldn't find a db3_nosync function... and finally figured out that you
were looking at a path I never specified ( /usr/local/include ) and reading
the include files from there, instead of the path I did specify:
 	--with-dbdir=/opt/berkeleydb

If I want you to read /usr/local, I'll tell you that.  Please stop assuming
that everything is dumped there.  At the very least, try the specified
path and only try /usr/local if nothing was specified.  You've had more
than a dozen complaints about stuff picking up the wrong libraries, when
the properly library paths were explicitly listed.
