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
