/usr/libexec is a GNU standard, but it is not appropriate for this at 
all.  nspluginwrapper on Fedora/RHEL has independent builds and binary 
packages that can be installed on i386 and x86_64.  For example, Fedora 
x86_64 installs only nspluginwrapper.x86_64 by default.

nspluginwrapper.x86_64:
/etc/sysconfig/nspluginwrapper
/usr/bin/mozilla-plugin-config
/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins-wrapped
/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins-wrapped/npwrapper.so
/usr/lib64/nspluginwrapper
/usr/lib64/nspluginwrapper/npconfig
/usr/lib64/nspluginwrapper/npplayer
/usr/lib64/nspluginwrapper/npviewer
/usr/lib64/nspluginwrapper/npviewer.bin
/usr/lib64/nspluginwrapper/npwrapper.so
/usr/lib64/nspluginwrapper/nspluginplayer
/usr/lib64/nspluginwrapper/plugin-config
/usr/share/doc/nspluginwrapper-1.1.10
/usr/share/doc/nspluginwrapper-1.1.10/COPYING
/usr/share/doc/nspluginwrapper-1.1.10/NEWS
/usr/share/doc/nspluginwrapper-1.1.10/README

nspluginwrapper.i386:
/etc/sysconfig/nspluginwrapper
/usr/bin/mozilla-plugin-config
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins-wrapped
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins-wrapped/npwrapper.so
/usr/lib/nspluginwrapper
/usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/npconfig
/usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/npplayer
/usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/npviewer

It would be great if your upstream tarball had configure options to 
allow building only a single arch for installation into a target libdir 
in this manner.

We would like to be able to build nspluginwrapper for Fedora without 
giant patches that deviate from the upstream source.  By making it 
configure options it need not change the way it builds and installs on 
other operating systems.
