A safer route suggested by Lachele that I've adopted: Change ownership of
/usr/local to a user that installs regularly, since /usr/local is typically
non-system-vital *stuff*. That way, you won't accidentally clobber anything
in / unwittingly, because you never *quite* know what scripts do. Of
course, there's no need to install amber in /usr/local, and I never do.
