/usr/local is reserved for stuff local to a particular machine,
while /usr is commonly installed software, sometimes even from
a network source. But keep in mind that Cygwin doesn't use /usr/local
in it's packages. On the other hand, 'nd.exe' isn't in any current
Cygwin package so it's clearly not required to conform to Cygwin
packaging guidelines. As such though, discussion of it's
packaging or really any sort of problems with it is off-topic for
this list. But I hope that answers your basic questions about
using it from emacs.
