What happened is that the ffi puts a .so file in the same directory as
the corresponding .hs file.  Being in the same directory is to make it
more likely to be the right file and avoid inventing some system of
parallel directories or whatever.  The library contains an increasing
number of such files and, of course, they are architecture dependent.

I'm happy enough to see the files go somewhere else as long as they're
in the architecture-dependent space.
