Hi Sven,

your recutils package currently installs the recutils.so bash builtins
into /usr/lib/recutils/bash-builtins/readrec.so

While looking for the best place to put the builtins lib for one of my
packages I found that bash has an (apparently) undocumented default
load path for builtins: DEFAULT_LOADABLE_BUILTINS_PATH defined as

    /usr/local/lib/bash
    /usr/lib/bash
    /opt/local/lib/bash
    /usr/pkg/lib/bash
    /opt/pkg/lib/bash

So it may be a good idea to put all bash builtins in Debian into
/usr/lib/bash. Naturally it would be good to install a symlink at the
old location.

I would certainly appreciate being able to get rid of the ugly
hardcoded path in one of my other other projects using recutils :)

Let me know what you think.

Thanks,
--Daniel
