The correct directory would be /usr/plan9/ or /usr/9/ - but this
won't be accepted until 9base is not that widespread as X11R6.

/usr/lib is maybe a better choice referring what the GNU guys
write in hier(7), but still a bad place. From BSD POV I don't
see the point in messing up /usr/lib with binaries, but well,
I've seen such things in Debian.
