Adds an extra path to check for get_iplayer (on Linux systems - i.e. 
/usr/local/bin as opposed to just /usr/bin - which will depend on the 
distro). As it's a CGI I guess it's from the web-frontend for the PVR, 
but I've never used that nor dug into the get_iplayer code so I'm not 
sure.

It's not related to the - much discussed - recent changes by the BBC.

Aside: unusual for this to appear on the list - patches normally via 
github pull request, I guess?

Cheers,
