Aha! This is the missing part. I didn't realize that one can specify 
libexecdir independently. Alright, let me see if I can get these 
generated. In order to do that I would probably need to move existing 
files to XXX.in and have a simple sed to replace LIBEXEC with its actual 
value.

Meanwhile, I will merge the three patches you ACKed since they are 
independent of the rest.

Thanks,
Michal
