Maybe is the subject now closed, and I'm answering too late, but I'll 
greatly appreciate if opam could follow the XDG Directory design[1] :

$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/opam (default ~/.config/opam) for the configuration
$XDG_DATA_HOME/opam (default ~/.local/opam) for the package and all 
datas

This allow to stop the polution in the users ~ , and give the user a 
way to define it's own path.
