The current tools, "ap", "dp", and "fmtdump", all live in $(libdir).

And I, too, think that's wrong.  Truth be told, I was thinking of proposing a 
move to $(bindir) a while ago. These are tools intended for MH end users, 
therefore they should be in the user's path.

And while we're at it, can we move the true back-end exec'd stuff into 
$(prefix)/libexec?  Executables are not libraries.  Pedantic, I know.  But I 
still like the clean distinctions between the two when it comes down to, e.g., 
chasing rogue shared libraries.  Find(1) is more useful when hier(7) is 
followed.
