I did end up writing a custom Setup.lhs, but it also basically just
moves the files over to libexecdir after all the other Cabal stuff ran.
This way it will also work when people install Bluetile via 'cabal
install bluetile' and I don't have to deal with two different possible
locations for the helper binaries.
I think this is a good solution - the only downside being, that the
Cabal manual mentions in several places, that the hook system - which one
has to use for this - is subject to change. Well, hopefully it won't break
anytime soon. =)

I simply changed it to 0.4.1 now. Maybe I will want to upload this
version to hackage later as well and that seems the most compatible
choice.
So a updated release with the changes mentioned above can be found here:
