I won't install it if it puts stuff in /usr/lib :-)
/usr/lib is usually considered to belong to the OS vendor, /usr/local/
lib has all the advantages of /usr/lib, it is in the default runtime
and static linker paths. Also, it is specifically designed for third
party software, man hier(7) says /usr/local is "executables,
libraries, etc. not included by the basic operating system". The
vendor, Apple, can do what they please with /usr including wipe it
out and repopulate it on OS updates, but they will probably try to
leave /usr/local alone.
That said, this is Mac OS, I expect Mac OS to behave like, well, Mac
OS when I install a binary mac application I expect the application
to be fully self contained. No other stuff littering my disk, if you
don't mind.
When I install something unixy from binaries I hope for a README to
tell me what will be installed and where before I begin the
installation process, it is much harder to clean up stuff scattered
across multiple directories when I want to remove something that did
not prove as interesting as I had believed when I installed it.
