This is my preferred solution, and is hopefully only a temporary one.  However, 
I know David Faure doesn't like it, and (I assume) would rather have a generic 
LIBEXEC variable.

My view is that libexec should be used for stuff that's really internal to a 
piece of software (like a framework), and so a libexec env var shouldn't be 
necessary (except maybe for relocatability?), but the current situation with 
drkonqi should hopefully be a temporary one (until 5.1 or something), and so a 
specific var for unusual situations is reasonable.

However, given that an objection has already been raised by the maintainer, I'm 
not willing to give it a ship-it without his agreement.
