I like this.  Other paths to consider:

/usr/sfw/bin       Sun Freeware
/opt/sfw/bin       Sun Freeware
/opt/csw/bin       Blastwave
/opt/bin           Common alternative to /usr/local/bin
/local/bin         Ditto

As these are all under /, /usr, or /opt there should be little risk
within common filesytem hierarchy definitions of a path being hijacked
by a non-admin user.
