This issue open the convo around the Pull Request #47
The original issue raised was about changing the default install location in the makefile.
The correct install location for handbuild binaries under linux (And probably OSX) should be /usr/local/bin/
For reference:
The linux FHS standards says:
Purpose of The /usr/local hierarchy is for use by the system administrator when installing software locally. It needs to be safe from being overwritten when the system software is updated. It may be used for programs and data that are shareable amongst a group of hosts, but not found in /usr.
Locally installed software must be placed within /usr/local rather than /usr unless it is being installed to replace or upgrade software in /usr.
/usr/local | Resembles /usr in structure, but its subdirectories are used for additions not part of the operating system distribution, such as custom programs or files from a BSD Ports collection. Usually has subdirectories such as /usr/local/lib or /usr/local/bin.

This said, the challenge now is to figure all the implications and changes required.
