I had asked a related question a few weeks ago about relative paths to
the application bundle in order to access user scripts and was roundly
shot down for not thinking about installing such scripts in the ~/App
Suppors/My App/ folder.  However, I will note that for the domain of
application I am working on (multimedia composition) most applications
are installed within a separate folder inside the /Applications folder
with a directory for extensions and scripts.  Two examples that come
to mind are Max/MSP and Processing.  So, in short, I think it depends
on who your apps audience is and what they expect.  In multimedia,
users don't like going through the ridiculous number of folders of an
app support installation and instead prefer things to be with the app
itself along with the option of adding user search paths to the app.
