If /usr/lib64 would be correct, why does

  GTK_LIB_DIR return /usr/lib while
  KDE3_LIB_DIR returns /usr/lib64

on the very same amd64 box? I mean as long as one of them is a symlink
to the other it's not really false, but CMake could at least try to be
consistent couldn't it?

Really? Is it safe to assume /usr/lib is correct for every arch Debian
supports, so I can hardcode it instead of relying on KDE3_LIB_DIR?
