Good point to make.  I normally create ~/root as software root for
installation:

mkdir ~/{bin,etc,lib,mnt,tmp,share}

Compile software with:
./configure --prefix=/home/gordon/root
make

I also tend to SUID root smbmount and smbumount so that I can use
LinNeighborhood to mount windows shares in ~/mnt/SERVERNAME/SHARE.
