Can't it be a symlink?
So asks me who will only really look at it for the first time this week,

I didn't realise that would resolve the problem.
Yes, I believe it can be. I will see about making it so.

Yes, I think that is a good solution (short of rearanging the
resource paths completely). I can do this fairly easily in the Debian
packaging and intend to do so shortly. Do you want me to shoe-horn this
into the relevant Makefile.am, or just leave it as a Debian thing?

Huh?
I just meant make individual symlinks for a individual binaries. NOT a
symlink for the entire directory.

Of course, special attention needs to be paid to upgrading to (and
possibly, back off from) a version with that change.
