The idea is that given that the compiled files are
architecture-dependent, that they should go in $libdir instead of
$datadir. We can add $libdir, but I don't think it's a good idea -- not
only for reasons of excessive stat, but because I don't think we should
be putting binaries in with installed source.

I don't really know. I'm sure it could be worked around somehow, but
it's not very fun work.
