I fired up the hurd VM and ran 'uptime' and it complained that it
couldn't find /bin/w. 'w' was in the path.

Hello,
Debian project currently uses `/bin/w` from the hurd package, so I propose the attached patch.

Looking at this again it looks fine; following the pattern we created.
This now makes me wonder whether upstream Hurd could use a patch for
${bindir} and ${libexecdir}. Possibly even for `/hurd'.
What do you all think?

Yes, I think this prefix issue should be fixed upstream.
