I package a lot of things, and nearly all of them default to /usr/local
for the default prefix; some default to /usr.  Installing as root is 
pretty standard.  I'd say that anyone who could build jazz++ and the 
prerequisites would likely be able to alter the $PREFIX if they 
wanted to.  I'll advocate for /usr/local.  --prefix=$HOME isn't too 
hard to do, if desired.

That's my $0.02.

Thanks...
