We should conform to the defaults that debian uses a per:

http://patch-tracking.debian.net/patch/misc/view/mapnik/0.6.0-1/SConstruct

Detection could be done either by confirming that lib64 is an actual extant directory (not symlink) or perhaps actually detecting debian systems.

jburgess notes that fedora and most non-debian bases systems do use lib64, so that will continue to the the default path that SCons uses.
