In my opinion, that's not the point. I think it is better to separate
source and installed software. Moreover, I don't want the programs to
be in my home directory because I think it's not their place. That's
why I use to download the sources of a program in a subdir of my home
dir and then compile it (or just build a jar in conkeror case) and
install it in /usr/local/...

I don't use Windows but I guess not, because people usually place the
program in the "Program Files" directory, where they normally never
go.
