Many Slackware users use multi-lib on their 64 bit systems, which means keeping lib and lib64 separated. Upstream has adopted that directory structure. I need to support that structure.

I don't know how to control the python packages either. The tqca and tqca-tls packages have the same problem.

Otherwise I am building everything else with no problems regarding the lib64 location.

I wish fixing this stuff was straightforward. I get tired of filing bug reports.
