I've been meaning to fix this for a while, but couldn't see a good way
to do it.  I found a (mildly-hacky) way to do it today: in
fptools/ghc, we override $(libdir) to be
$(libdir)/$(ProjectNameShort)-$(ProjectVersion), so everything inside
fptools/ghc will be installed in the subdirectory.  fptools/hslibs is
a bit more of a hack.
