well, the idea of a local_state_dir, storing the ruleset in /var/lib is the
cleanest option, given the other constraints that have to be considered.  For
example, the Linux FHS mandates that as the sensible location for such files,
and you see that clamav uses the same location too (/var/lib/clamav).   With the
addition of sa-update and frequent, downloaded ruleset updates, a local-state
directory was the only correct way to implement that.  if you go back through
the dev list archive to the discussions with Warren, that's readable there.

I don't think there's a more sensible alternative -- worth noting that, in
particular, /etc is not the right place to store frequent updates (again, see
the discussion a few months back where this was covered).

also, this isn't actually "flailing around" -- it's just theo making a
succession of small changes.  that's fine -- it's just iterative development ;)
