Yabut this is 4.x - nothing is supposed to be changing ... or so I thought...

Besides, on 6.x with xorg 7.2, the new path is in /usr/local.

I dunno how it ended up looking in /bin.  I've written up a PR, but given the
unsupported status of 4.x, I doubt anyone will bother, especially given the simple
workaround...
