Question about pkgsrc installation dir

[Petr Janda <elekktretterr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
Why are we by default installing into /usr/pkg as opposed 
to "standard" /usr/local for 3rd party apps. This always bites me when Im 
installing manually various things that are not in pkgsrc that only look 
at /usr/local.

I think it would have been much easier to stick to standard directories.
