As I see it, either we use the GNU standard variable names or we don't.
If we don't, then I would prefer "Executables_Directory" over
"Bin_Dir". I see no point in making up names that are almost but not
quite like the GNU standard ones.

The GNU standard names are widespread and well-known. Many system
administrators and packagers will understand them immediately. They're
also already in use in Comfignat and Fedora, and I don't know of any
compelling reason to change them.
