I've been thinking about writing a program to test out format strings,
because the existing tools aren't quite good enough. Also, maybe it will
inspire some people to do some of the format programming themselves :-)
But I have a dumb question: where should this program be installed?
The current tools, "ap", "dp", and "fmtdump", all live in $(libdir). I
understand doing this for backend programs designed to be called by other
programs, like post & mhl. But I never understood why those programs
were installed there. Should this hypothetical test program be installed
in $(libdir), or should it be installed in $(bindir) like all of the other
nmh user-level executables?
