Include basedir user executables #46

@eode

Description

@eode

This was just merged into the XDG basedir spec:

There is a single base directory relative to which
user-specific executable files may be written.

User-specific executable files may be stored in
$HOME/.local/bin. Distributions should ensure
this directory shows up in the UNIX $PATH
environment variable, at an appropriate place.

Since $HOME</literal> might be shared between systems of different achitectures, installing compiled binaries to $HOME/.local/bincould cause problems when used on systems of differing architectures. This is often not a problem, but the fact that $HOME` becomes partially achitecture-specific
if compiled binaries are placed in it should be kept in mind.

It has not been released, and so it is not final, but I figured I'd give you a heads-up.
