I really don't like stuffing the config file (data etc) in the same dir
as the executables - I prefer to encapsulate the executables. Personally
I would prefer to see it in somewhere like /usr/share/sync-engine. Is
there something out there for python trees like pkgconfig - or can one
easily access pkgconfig from python? That way we can easily find the
prefix - and no more problems with hardcoding? I'll have a look.
