The problem with --bindir is that it confuses the purpose with the
build/install-time bindir, which is actually nearly unrelated --- it'll
likely have a similar path tail, but path head could be completely
different.  (Confusing this purpose with bindir was why I failed to grok
the point to start with.)  Call it what you like so long as it ain't
bindir ...
