Change of idea: this should default to $libdir/qt5/libexec and Linux distros 
are under strict recommendations *not* to change it.

Why? Because this directory contains tools that are arch-dependent. The 64-bit 
qmlplugindump cannot be used with 32-bit plugins.

Unless distros have a suggestion for how to deal with this.
