Perhaps "/boot" could be the default, but it could be overridden by an
"InstallLocation:" line or something like that.
BePDF and BeZilla and perhaps some others install to /boot/apps, this
is handled while building, but if Expander was expanded upon to read
the .OPD file it could handle putting the default dir in for the user.
