I think command-line tools can go right next to the executable, but  
if they have an revision life of their own and might survive the app,  
they should go into Application Support.  Well, that is what I did a  
year or two ago.  If they need special permissions, then I put them  
into Application Support.  That seemed appropriate at the time.

I put ephemeral things into temp, even code, but I'm not sure if that  
is the right place.

I have a vague memory of what I read where things to go and where the  
new (then) app builder wanted to put them were not the same.

I don't know if any of that mumbling is any help.
