Two remarks about this:
1) on my openSUSE 10.3 system banshee _does_ install into the
   /usr/lib64/banshee-1 directory:

  OK, I didn't build this myself, it is the x64_64 package from the
  openSUSE repository for Banshee-1.

2) in fact Banshee-1 is almost completely a 32-bit applicatie.
   Only the .so (shared object) libraries are 64-bit, the .dll and
   the Nereid.exe file are only 32-bit.
   Ok, mono itself is 64-bit, but that isn't banshee supplied, comes
   with the O/S itself.
   In MY installation, this means that there are only 3 64-bit files
   in the whole of the /usr/lib64/banshee-1 tree:
   1 .so file in each of
   banshee-1, banshee-1/Backends and banshee-1/gstreamer-0.10

So the placement in /usr/lib64 is actually only needed for those .so
files (but, of course, it is more logical to have the whole of banshee-1
placed within a single subtree).
