Installation sites? (Was Re: [OS X TeX] R, paradigm to bring into the LaTeX world?)

[Joshua Smith]

Claus,

What happens when there is a package installed by i-Installer and you  
put a newer version in one of these recommended installation sites?   
Which is used?  Do packages in these directories take precedent?

Thanks,
Josh
