Unified diff

The default option to create a symlink in /etc blocks installation as a
non-root user.  Attached is an example patch to have this default on only when
installing as root.  There may be a better way to detect the installing user,
but this patch does the trick.

I'm experimenting installing multiple ports trees as a non-privileged user both
for development and testing purposes, and for deployment of static snapshots
for long-term scientific studies that must use the same software version
throughout.
