 I don't know how to classify this one. It may just prove to be strictly
 cosmetic, or contrary wise reveal some glitches in the logics of the run
 script; if the latter, this ticket could then be related to ticket #316.

 A system install seems to know about /System/Library and /Library. Those
 directories are typical of Mac OS X. But then, why does such an install
 put things into /usr/local/bin as well, instead of /usr/sbin or /usr/share
 for example?

 The installation location for caldavd.plist is rather surprising:
 /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/caldavd:
 caldavd.plist...

 If a system install insists on putting things under /usr/local/bin, why
 does the default config (as of config.py) still consider that twistd's
 path is /usr/share/caldavd/bin/twistd?

 In the same vein, and this seems to be directly related to #316, a PATH is
 set to a non existing
 /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/bin...

 As a result, the default layout yielded by run's -i option really appears
 as an hybrid install: many similarities with a home install and some
 reminiscences of what may be observed on Mac OS X Server.

 More generally, the rationale underlying the -i and -I options don't
 appear clearly.
 Unless some bug (typo) is at work.
 Unless I just don't understand those matters...

 TIA,
 Axel
