Reading hier(7):

     /usr/      contains the majority of the system utilities and files
                bin/      common utilities, programming tools, and applica-
                                          tions
                sbin/     system daemons and system utilities (normally exe-
                                          cuted by the super-user)

/usr/bin would seem to me like the "most correct" place.  I almost
wonder if we should have a "make-moduli" wrapper script and put these
two programs in /usr/libexec ...
