I most cases on Unix boxes it isn't configured to include ".".  This is so for
safety reasons (somebody might replace some command with a tampered binary or
a script and capture information that they shouldn't have access to...). 

The solution of creating a directory and adding it to PATH is the best one,
IMHO.  Having a "~/bin" is also common for Linux and some distributions of it
already ship with it in /etc/skel and in the PATH, so just put a link there or
copy your scripts there.

Yes.  This is the best.

;-)  And think about security as well.
