Body:
Martin, please read previous comments before adding your own. Using $MAVEN_HOME_LOCAL
has already been suggested (isn't that the issue subject?), and the reasons not to use
~/.mavenrc is documented (because rc is a shell resource and already used by maven).
The current status of this seems to be exactly what you +2'd (by the way +1 means you
like, and are willing to work on something, so +2 should mean you are already
finished, right? :)

Description:
for consistency with other defaults, maven should load build.properties from
$MAVEN_HOME_LOCAL (which by default is $HOME/.maven), instead of
$HOME/build.properties.
The main issue I see with this is that maven.home.local can be specified in the
build.properties, which if you move it makes it hard to find :) Resolutions to this
are requiring they use the env. var, requiring they add -Dmaven.home.local=... to
MAVEN_OPTS, or allowing a load from $HOME/build.properties first, and then from
${maven.home.local}/build.properties.
I suggest the last as it allows the other options as well, but we should rename it to
${user.home}/maven.properties instead of build.properties
