This is how to build and install personal lal/lalapps on ATLAS

- both use the global available libmetaio8

- lalapps uses the fresh installed personal lal

Inside lal source directory:

  ./00boot
  PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/opt/lscsoft/libmetaio/lib/pkgconfig \
  ./configure --prefix=/local/$( whoami )/lscsoft/lal
  LC_ALL="C" LANG="C" make
  make install

Inside lalapps source direcotry:

 ./00boot
 PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/opt/lscsoft/libmetaio/lib/pkgconfig:/local/$( whoami )/lscsoft/lal/lib/pkgconfig \
 ./configure --prefix=/local/$( whoami )/lscsoft/lalapps
 make
 make install

The core statement is to set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH as we do not set it by default, thus allowing the user full custom / personal install.
