I had *major* pains with this for the upcoming HOpenGL release, too.  :-P

Ooops, never noticed that. Since when (GHC x.y) has this been working? Is
this the "official" way? IMHO it's quite important, because due to the heavy
inter-module optimizations, packages are closely tied to a specific GHC version,
so $libdir is the only sensible place for package installation.
