Is it normal to install Arduino into global applications directory, instead of putting it somewhere in home directory?
Maybe we can relax this to /path/to/Arduino.app?

I used to use mac too some time ago, and that was the place where I installed Arduino, so the place seemed right to me.
But you are right, not everyone is root on his machine, or want to install a single version of arduino in the global app dir.
I will fix this.

Yes, you are right. In Mac OS X you can put the app bundle everywhere.
It seems there is no easy way to get the folder of an app via bash.
If you want, I can update the doc as suggested by @igrr
