Yes, because /usr is usually a standard installation prefix.
However, when I want to build and test FDO with, for instance, GDAL CVS,
then I would not like to install it into standard prefix (/usr) but I
prefer to put it into so called dev location, for example $HOME/usr,
just to not to mess my system.

I believe many developers prefer to not to pollute system locations with
libraries in development versions.
That's one of reasons why --with-<package> is a nice gadget.
