I may be wrong about this (please speak up if I am!), but I suspect
that "%%LOCALBASE%%" isn't a useful construct to end-users. End-users
are less likely to know that "%%LOCALBASE%% is substituted in plist
files to ${LOCALBASE}, which is /usr/local by default" than users
who've set LOCALBASE to a new location will know that paths in
UPDATING messages need to be modified for their system.
I think we can make things clearer for users by just using /usr/local,
and tailoring UPDATING messages to be immediately usable by the
greatest percentage of users.
