    config: detect lib64 directory and abort
    
    Things are likely to go off the rails pretty quickly if you try to use
    new lib64-free jhbuild after having installed some packages in lib64
    using an older jhbuild version.
    
    Unfortunately, Fedora's python packages contain a bug that result in a
    lib64 directory being created inappropriately.
    
    We therefore detect the existence of glib installed inside a lib64
    directory on startup and abort with a helpful message if we find it.
    That will catch the case of someone using jhbuild with lib64 before
    these recent changes: practically every case will have glib installed as a
    dependency of something or other.
    
    A lib64 directory existing on its own is ignored -- this will probably
    continue to be created until Fedora fixes its python packages.
