No need for `sys` in that name, AFAICT: the rest of the name makes it
clear that it belongs to the Emacs installation or to the system but not
to the user.

AFAICT, `/usr/libexec` contains executables, not shared libraries.
They're just executables that are not supposed to be in $PATH.
So I think `/usr/lib` is more appropriate.
