I'm not sure I understand this.  The patch seems to remove /usr/local 
from the list.  Why do you want to do this?  I am assuming the original 
idea was that if a user wants to build a version of a library and put it 
in /usr/local, then that is what mpl should use; if it is not found 
there, then use the distro version in /usr.  This seems to me like the 
right strategy, so I am reluctant to apply your patch as-is.
