Yes it should be ignored as well. I don't have time to do it at this moment 
though.
If everything got transferred to /usr/local; you should be able to finish it 
by manually deleting /usr/X11R6 directory and creating 
symlink /usr/X11R6 -> /usr/local. After that you can run the script again so 
it edits some files in /etc (it shouldn't touch /usr/X11R6 again if it is 
symlink).
