require 'rbconfig'
require 'ftools'
destdir = Config::CONFIG["destdir"]
# ...
exec_files.each do |f|
	File.install f, File.join(destdir, File.basename(f)), 0755

If you're following the 'standard' source layout (lib/, bin/, etc),
I suggest you use setup.rb from Aoki Minero: that way all you have to
do is copy setup.rb into your source dir, period (in most cases at least).
