Hi, Thanks for your attention to this!

Please don't get the impression that I think you should have to add this just on account of me. fwiw, I'm also trying to make my project more correct in its handling of settings, so I similarly defined: pkgsysconfdir = $(sysconfdir)/$(PACKAGE) Looking at my Debian system, there are quite few "/etc/$(PACKAGE)" directories for various programs, so I would guess that $(pkgsysconfdir) would have some use. Then again, I'm far from an expert at automake. Best, David Bruce
