If you can set it up in such a way that the default behavior doesn't
change, this would be workable.  I don't think we want people to
suddenly find their stuff installing in the wrong place.

It probably wouldn't be that hard, something along the lines of
	ifndef MODULEDIR
	MODULEDIR=contrib
	endif
ought to do it no?
