I will use the current download url:
http://gforge.inria.fr/frs/download.php/586/SmartEiffel-2-2.tar.bz2

I don't think it makes much sense to change the settings in /etc/serc.

yes.

I always thought that /usr/libexec is the standard directory for executables
that are called as subprocesses and not directly by the user.
I really don't understand the warning, /usr/libexec seems pretty standard to
me...

Hmm, if I chmod 0644 these files, I must also remove the shebang.
Maybe I should move the contrib directory to /usr/share/SmartEiffel.
There are also a few files to patch, paths etc...
