PATCH 1/1 Parametrize installation directory

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
