I'm pretty sure that for all working configs, these are identical.
They are both libdir.
Not that it matters that much, since the only difference between
loading qsf and not is the extra schema failure error messages that
qsf throws, but...
If you really want to change this, the _real_ problem, IMO, is that
qsf has an identity-crisis. If it's a qof module, then it should live
in QOF's libdir and be loaded by qof, not gnucash. If it's a gnucash
backend/module, it should live in gnucash's libdir and be loaded by
gnucash. Gnucash should have has no business poking around in qof's
libdir.

I'm pretty sure that can't make any difference, and in the long term,
we probably shouldn't be keeping a list of libdirs.
