OK, I see. Yes, I get bit by this all the time on FreeBSD, when I edit
the /etc/foo file and wonder why is has no effect, as it's expecting
a /usr/local/etc/foo file.
At the moment I can't think of a good way to support this though given
the current TMDA installation structure.
Since this is so FreeBSD-specific, how about a post-installation script
in the port to change the GLOBAL_TMDARC = '/etc/tmdarc' line in
Defaults.py to GLOBAL_TMDARC = '${PREFIX}/etc/tmdarc' ?
