Sorry for dropping the ball on this one.

The whole discussion just came up on fedora devel again, so I figured
I really should merge this now. I hence pinged Allison about this, one
of the original spec authors, and she suggested we should not define
any new env vars but simply document the dir as ~/.local/bin. 

That made sense to me, and I have taken the liberty to change your
patches accordingly now, and dropped all references to any new env
var, I hope that's OK. I have however added a reference to UNIX $PATH,
and added that distros really should add ~/.local/bin to that path.

I have then posted the updated patch set here:

https://bugzilla.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106360

PTAL!

Maybe we'll get some more feedback if this is tracked in bugzilla
too. If not, I'll merge this like this in a day or two, but maybe
Allison beats me to it.

Anyway, sorry again for all the delays, let's get this settled, finally!

Lennart
