Re: [foxboro] Making more space in /usr/local

Stan,

I like the idea of piping tar to tar.  I think that will preserve 
timestamps, permissions, and the owner, right?

About a symlink: A symbolic link seems much easier than remembering the 
vfstab file during an upgrade, but for me doing:
         cd /usr/local
         cd ..

and ending up in /opt is a little too weird.  I know I have some recursive 
makefiles that would go nuts if they ran into that sort of thing.
