hi sam.

i don't think this is a good idea. the stock beast
tarballs still install the real executables to $(prefix)/bin/
so users may invoke:
a) specific versions of beast deliberately (important for .bse
   file versioning/converting)
b) the non-suid version of beast (very usefull for debugging)

i.e. the binaries have their place in the public path.
