[Help-stow] Installing without root privileges in /usr/local

[enclair]

Hi,

I'd like to use stow this way, but I wonder if there are any drawbacks, or if there is a better way:

/usr/local/stow belongs to a non-root user.
Then, to install a package I could do:

$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/stow/package
$ make
$ make install

And as root:
# cd /usr/local/stow
# stow package

What do you think?
