My next step would be to implement support for fhs in the way that you can
specify it like that
'$bindir/bin_script',
'$sbindir/sbin_script',
['$sbindir', ['sbin/sbin_script']],
['$bindir', ['bin/bin_script2']],
['$whateverwwwisnamedinfhs/myprefix', ['bin/mymod.wsgi']]
And then setting those variables in cross platform compatible ways.
