IMHO we should definetely have platform-dirs for everything that's
possibly platform-dependent ... resulting in something like

	<library>/<section>/<type>

e.g. for R code and

	<library>/<section>/<type>/<platform>

e.g. for exec and dynload-objects.

for exec there's a problem though, as some exec's are
shell/perl/whatever-scripts and *should* work on any platform
