Last argument about default config place
Hello users,
You use ``--prefix'' to determine, where binaries & documentation
will be installed. But default config place is hard-coded and don't
affected by ``--prefix''.
Why you don't install binaries ALWAYS to /usr/bin or even /bin?
And why software, configured with some ``--prefix'' try to access any
files OUTSIDE this prefix, an it could be changed only with source
hack?

My, this is really starting to sound ... familiar. Here's a plan --
read HACKING, write the code, and submit a patch. Show us how it's
all done.

Lev, I think it's just a matter of priorities. Having configurable
config locations might be a nice feature, but it's not important
enough to any developers to implement (or even debate) before 1.0.
That's all. This isn't necessarily disagreement, just different
priorities...
