[ADMB Users] macos weird install

[John Sibert]

Nice discussion, Mollie. You might want to export ADMB_HOME though

It is possible to have multiple copies of ADMB installed on a single 
computer. It is not really necessary to install in /urs/local. It can be 
installed anywhere, eg ~/myadmb. All you need to do is to set ADMB_HOME 
to point to the directory where it is installed.
