Why the use of $libdir instead of $prefix/lib?

These are all managed programs, with no use of native libraries, so why
do they need to be in $prefix/lib64 on 64-bit architectures?  What's
wrong with sticking with $prefix/lib?

(Alternatively, why are they in $libdir or $prefix/lib at all?  Surely
$prefix/share would make more sense, given that they don't use native
code...)
