I would not like to force users to add $libexecdir to their path.
Either the dll is loaded eplicitely at runtime or it's linked in
so that it's inherently loaded at application start. In the first
case you can even put the lib into /usr/lib (which would then make
sense, IMO). In the second case it should go to /usr/bin.
