the current code is a hack ... the proposed solution is a hack ... i say we 
just make it a config option, default it to 'lib', and then make the user 
override it if 'lib' rubs them the wrong way

there is no consensus yet (if there ever will be) as to what the "correct" 
location is on any system, whether it be multilib or not
