a) static libs exist in lib/  also :)
b) according to hier(7), libdata might be more appropriate
(misc. utility data files); however, libdata does not exist for the
/usr/local tree.
c) share/ might be more appropriate also (for architecture-independent
files)
d) lib/ is where the author felt the files should go
e) if you feel strongly against keeping the files in lib/, feel free to
provide patches...
