      QBS should use reasonable defaults for the destinationDirectory / qbs.installDir. This varies greatly by OS and product type.

      I propose that destinationDirectory and qbs.installDir should both have the following defaults, based on the product type where applicable. These paths are relative to the install prefix.

      Product type Variable Value
      application executableInstallDir qbs.targetOS.contains("windows") ? "." : "bin"
      - systemExecutableInstallDir qbs.targetOS.contains("windows") ? "." : "sbin"
      applicationbundle applicationInstallDir "Applications"
      frameworkbundle frameworkInstallDir "Library/Frameworks"
      dynamiclibrary
      staticlibrary      		 libraryInstallDir qbs.targetOS.contains("windows") ? "." : "lib"
      msi
      wixsetup
      nsissetup
      dmg
      pkg
      mpkg
      deb
      rpm      		 packageInstallDir "dist"

      Artifacts that go into packageInstallDir should not be installed by default.
