Hello!

It shouldn't be necessary to patch Makefile to specify where scripts
should be installed.  This patch introduces a variable bindir for that
purpose.  The name of the variable was chosen for compatibility with
projects using Automake.

For example, to install scripts to /usr/local/bin use:
make install bindir=usr/local/bin
