Currently 'make install' installs the virt-p2v binary in /usr/libexec/virt-p2v on the host. It is never supposed to be run from there, even by another program, so use of /usr/libexec is incorrect. It is only supposed to be copied into USB keys / ISOs / etc created by virt-p2v-make-* scripts. The other problem with shipping a "naked" binary on the host is that packages built from that get all the dependencies of virt-p2v, for example Gtk. This is unnecessary just for running the command line scripts mentioned above. This changes the Makefile and scripts so that the binary is stored compressed in $libdir/virt-p2v/virt-p2v.xz. It is compressed to avoid exposing the dependencies. It is stored under $libdir since the binary is still architecture-dependent. A further change is that when we copy the binary into the virt-p2v ISO, it is now installed in /usr/bin instead of /usr/libexec. (And note that we always use /usr/bin, not $bindir, since this path should not need to be affected by the configuration of libguestfs).
