from http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Directory-Variables.html:

| libexecdir
| 
| The directory for installing executable programs to be run by other
| programs rather than by users. This directory should normally be
| ‘/usr/local/libexec’, but write it as ‘$(exec_prefix)/libexec’. (If
| you are using Autoconf, write it as ‘@libexecdir@’.) 
| The definition of ‘libexecdir’ is the same for all packages, so you
| should install your data in a subdirectory thereof. Most packages
| install their data under ‘$(libexecdir)/package-name/’, possibly
| within additional subdirectories thereof, such as 
| ‘$(libexecdir)/package-name/machine/version’.


IIRC, the subtle difference between this and the libdir is that the libdir 
might be mounted with the execute-bit masked out for paranoi^Wsecurity 
reasons.
