This is what is used.

Ahh. I thought /usr/share should not contain any executable code, including
modules. But I cannot find a clear reference to that on 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines

I'll talk to upstream about the default install location, as I think it would
not be wise for the fedora package the hack those paths.
