Hmm, no, it is needed (thanks, Thac!). Otherwise the package may be
incomplete. Some files are being installed directly in /usr, so the
software will work in your computer but the package will not (or may
not) work on others as it will be missing some files. This is detected
when not building as root or in a mach environment, but not if you are
just building the package as root. 

I just built beta20 using it...

I seem to be getting more "jack has shutdown or has disconnected"
warnings than before. I have to reinstall beta19 to see if things have
indeed changed.
