Folks,

I concur Frank's suggestion.
Personally, I prefer to not to mess standard prefix locations
with any files during process of development (building, testing,
fixing). Ideally, I'd like to be able to use python bindings *without*
necessity of running any install steps, as it is possible with old-gen
python, though AFAIK it's not easy or even feasible with the new bindings.
