A better alternative for compiled programs that need to access the
configuration and other hardcoded directories directly would be to use
something like:

    extern const char *midgard_get_sysconfdir(void);

This way there won't be problems when the underlying midgard-core gets
recompiled with different paths.

Scripts like datagard should use midgard-config to get the correct paths.
