Which will break the world:  unless an AFS-aware program comes out of Andrew
(old = /usr/andy, new = /usr/local) it assumes /usr/afsws, largely thanks to
AIX.

The best idea for RPM would be to choose some reasonable default, then build
a relocateable RPM so "rpm --prefix" can be used to install it wherever is
preferred in the local environment.
