Hi,

one solution would be:

 - install the binaries in /usr/lib/bin/sptk/
 - provide a wrapper script as /usr/bin/sptk such that
     $ sptk command arguments
   would essentially do
     $ PATH=/usr/lib/bin/sptk/ command arguments
 - people can then use you binaries though your main wrapper or set
their PATH, especially in scripts.

Regard, Thibaut.
