Subject: make bash-completion: shouldn't we check $BASH_COMPLETION /  $BASH_COMPLETION_DIR

While looking for something else, I found

$ set |grep BASH_COMPLETION
BASH_COMPLETION=/etc/bash_completion
BASH_COMPLETION_COMPAT_DIR=/etc/bash_completion.d
BASH_COMPLETION_DIR=/etc/bash_completion.d

So may be in Makefile $BASH_COMPLETION_DIR should be checked (and only
if not defined, we could check if /etc/bash_completion.d exists and is a
directory, and put john.bash-completion there.

Just in case some other OS than common Linux distributions is using
another directory. What do you think?
