To quote the Wiki[1]...

Both methods can also be combined, to support repositories that start
without a tag but get tagged later on (uses a bashism):

```
pkgver() {
  cd "$pkgname"
  ( set -o pipefail
    git describe --long 2>/dev/null | sed 's/\([^-]*-g\)/r\1/;s/-/./g' ||
    printf "r%s.%s" "$(git rev-list --count HEAD)" "$(git rev-parse
--short HEAD)"
  )
}
```

Hmm, maybe -- I haven't tried it, so I wouldn't know. But libexecdir
does ring a bell...
What about bindir, libdir, and sysconfdir though? IIRC those should
already have the right default values.
