Oh, and if it isn't clear, the spec changes must be such that F17 and
RHEL 6 still install to /sbin, leaving only F18 and RHEL 7 as the first
releases that could support /bin (this probably means manually moving
things around according to conditionals).  Probably means you also have
your work cut out for './autogen.sh --system' doing the right thing
across platforms.
