OK, I'm convinced.  /usr/libexec is already in the SC binary search
path too.

I'd rather not muck with that, especially if no one else has asked for
it...

I'd love to hear from SD on this.  As I said, I think they may balk at
the added build complexity.  Plus, what will a Fedora PPC user install?
Will we also build a noarch RPM with none of the binaries?  I still
prefer noarch.

The server doesn't write to them, but I'm not sure a user will ever
edit them either (vs. adding a custom-convert.conf).  I'm wondering if
they should just go in /usr/share/squeezecenter with the strings.

Thanks for the encouragement :-)
