Hi fellow Mac-citizens,
please could someone be so kind and advise me on the installation of  
BibLaTeX on a TeXLive2008 (MacTeX) System?
After studying the README which says:
> INSTALLATION
>
> Copy all files found in the 'latex' directory of this package to
>
> 	<TEXMFLOCAL>/tex/latex/biblatex/
>
> and the file in the 'bibtex' directory to

I am not so sure any more: Should I use MyUser/Library/texmf and  
create the directories mentioned above (currently there is just / 
bibtex, /doc, /fonts, /tex in there) or into root/Libary/TeX etc.?
I'd like to put it somewhere where all users might find and use it and  
I donot want to mess up my clean and nicely working system. Note that  
I have not messed with any config-files and prefer never to have to.
Thanks a bunch.
Rolf
