I also don't mind having moc6 etc. directly in bin/, instead of being hidden 
in libexec. Well, I actually prefer if they are in bin/, because there they 
are easy to find an run, and sometimes that's necessary during development. For 
anything in libexec I always forget where it is and have to search it again 
once I need it.
