Then I suggest something like pkglibexecdir aka. $(libexecdir)/PACKAGE or a subdirectory thereof. That's not ideal, but seems to be better than the alternatives. Whatever you do, if you happen to use Automake and define a new directory variable for this, be sure to include the string "exec" in the variable name, so that it is hooked to 'make install-exec' rather than 'make install-data' (see info Automake "The Two Parts of Install").
