Wiping out /compat/linux/* when installing linux_base

[Martin Cracauer]

I have been bitten by this several times now:

when you reinstall the linux_base port, it just wipes out all of
/compat/linux.  I usually have stuff in /compat/linux/usr/local in
there. 

Note that removing linux_base does not do that, installing linux_base
again does.

Is there a good enough reason to do that? Maybe we can spare
/usr/local in there?

What do people use as a permanent place for their local additions to
the Linux environment?
