I wouldn't have thought to dump my own compiled stuff in ~/bin, which seems to take care of what most people use /usr/local/* for ... but doesn't it create things like ~/libexec, ~/lib, ~/ share, etc. when you compile your own packages with "--prefix=/User/ myaccount"?
Yes, it does. For that reason I maintain ~/local which contains the bin, lib, libexec, etc. Works pretty well for me, though I only use it for a very few things.
i.e. --prefix=/Users/myaccount/local
