Alex and Happy search for template files in ../{alex-$VERSION,happy-$VERSION},
relative to the executable location. If I had left them in $INSTDIR\bin, I'd
have to put these folders in the root HP directory, which is not very nice.

I think that putting all "extra HP stuff" under libs\extralibs is a
cleaner solution.

Bring this up with Happy's maintainer. BTW, there are also a lot of warnings
when compiling Happy itself - it would be nice to get those fixed too.
