Change prefix to /usr/local/gnuradio, believed acceptable on *BSD and

Linux, based on discussion with jcorgan.

Explain purpose of script better, and increase warnings at beginning.

+# and provides a way to test the build system.  When run, it will
+# build and install each GNU Radio module in turn, using the
+# just-installed modules as prerequisites.  It places the output of
+# each build in a separate file BUILD.NNN.options, so that one can do
+# 'tail -f BUILD.*' to see which components were successfully built.
