i heartily agree with this proposal. let's keep user installed
packages/modules/scripts out of the executable directory. it's
unclean.

although it is out of the scope for your pep, i'd also like to
get hear some initial ideas for standard documentation/examples
locations and formats. my package comes with many tutorials and
examples, but i haven't found a consistent place to store them
on all platforms.
