[issue39] install option

[Hawkwind]

Curious as to why someone would install it to the users home directory
?  All executables go into /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin and are system
wide.  I personally wouldn't use a package manager that asked me such
a question.  I'd definitely find something better and smarter if it
asked such silly questions IMHO.
