If I were to fix this, I think there would be a few parts to it:

 1) MakeMaker should try to determine a better place to put scripts (by
guessing)

Should be possible using the same tricks as the other iffy variables in
init_INSTALL().

Thanks, I'll have a look.

 2) EU::Install should honor that

It'll do that automaticly.  It doesn't know anything about the INSTALL*
variables, it just gets fed paths.  ExtUtils::Install is really just a
glorified copy command like GNU install.

Oh yeah.  Good.

 3) Config.pm should have INSTALLSITESCRIPT and INSTALLVENDORSCRIPT
entries so MM doesn't have to guess

We'll still have to guess for all older versions, so no code savings there.
:(

RIght, I meant more to increase predictability and reduce guessing, not to actually simplify code.
