    Hello.

    I do not want to open another wrong PR about NetBSD. I prefer asking
    here before opening it. The issue I want to manage is the next one:

    NetBSD 2.0 has removed /usr/local. I understand that this directory
    will not be used in the future. From my knowledge, it was not used
    for its real purpose since mid-90's at least. It should have software
    developed locally (e.g., shell scripts and tools not generally
    available), and not third party packages. That is the reason
    /opt exists in SVR4.x and /usr/pkg in NetBSD.

    If it is right, entries related with /usr/local should be removed
    from both the shell initialization scripts and /etc/man.conf, as
    this directory will not contain binaries or man pages again, though.
    These are the patches I propose, any advice will be greatly
    appreciated:
