Oh, and if it isn't clear, the spec changes must be such that F17 and
RHEL 6 still install to /sbin, leaving only F18 and RHEL 7 as the first
releases that could support /bin (this probably means manually moving
things around according to conditionals). Probably means you also have
your work cut out for './autogen.sh --system' doing the right thing
across platforms.
Having to maintain two different install locations, means the move to
/usr/bin is just going to cause us pain for no real gain, further
suggesting we just don't do this.
