I think we should at least continue to support the constants name for
finddir, even if we drop them from find_directory. This would allow running
scripts written on BeOS. I don't know if that's considered part of the ABI,
but as we allow compatibility for binaries, we may at least try to also make
installer scripts work, particularly if they took care of using finddir.
