I have complied so much native software myself in the last 5 years on a lot
Unix-like OSes that that there are several reasons why this is wrong:

* GNU autoconf has well established conventions for libs going to libdir. Don't
break the convention.
* This is a native library and native libs on Un*x  go to libdir
* You might want to share the lib with several Tomcat installations, e.g., from
/usr/local/lib or /opt/lib.

An option I see is to provide multiple layouts like libapr does.

Rule of thumb, don't break wellknown conventions just because this is a JNI
wrapper.
