I agree.  I use tcsh as my root shell, too.  And it really _isn't_
that big.

Of course, you will have to ensure that it does not use any dynamic
libraries located on /usr, and that may increase its size.

No.  /usr/local is completely for local admin.  Nothing should go there
unless it is setup for local admin (eg. special directories)
