You should do what the upstream author does. A really strict reading of the FHS implies that /usr/X11R6 is for the X Window System *itself*, not for things which might use it. In other words, using /usr/X11R6/bin might be wrong. Using /usr/bin definitely is not wrong. So I'd play it safe and use /usr/bin. -- G.
