Why can't you just use --datarootdir / --datadir and have the program
install whatever files it considers "global" configuration there?
These are just data files anyway -- just like sysconfdir which is per
machine, while these are for multiple machines i fyou have DATAROOT
shared (NFS or whatever)


You need to modify programs anyway so that they do the "right" thing.
