Perhaps it would be useful if Makefiles distinguished binary executables from sharable executables (i.e., shell scripts), by installing into $(bindir) and, say, $(sharebindir), respectively. $(sharebindir) could be $(prefix)/bin by default, so that if $(prefix) and $(exec_prefix) are different, the sharable executables wind up in a (presumably) sharable directory. Whatever the default, if the Makefiles used something like this, it would at least make it relatively painless to share what can be shared.
