Using the 20041228 release, it seems as though --with-rcdir is used to
install the rc files, but is not used in the code when searching for
them. I configured using "--prefix=/sw" and
"--with-rcdir=/sw/etc/gEDA", and I am seeing the following ktrace from
gschem on OS X:

  8354 gschem   NAMI  "/sw/share/gEDA/system-gschemrc"
  8354 gschem   RET   access -1 errno 2 No such file or directory
  8354 gschem   CALL  write(0x4,0x111e190,0x4c)
  8354 gschem   GIO   fd 4 wrote 76 bytes
       "Did not find required system-gschemrc file
[/sw/share/gEDA/system-gschemrc]

Is --with-rcdir deprecated?

I have a feeling that FHS-style systems may want to keep configuration
files out of share/, which is why I have been using --with-rcdir in
the Fink packages.
