OK, I see what has happened. The bug is actually in the way the firehol
script is processed - it should also be looking at /usr/local/etc with a
default configure but is sticking to the unconfigured defaults. Note that
the example configs are installed to /usr/local/etc.

I have now a bit of a quandry - fixing the bug might affect more users
than not...

Doing this should ensure everything matches up regardless. I will update
the documentation when I get a chance.
