Sorry, I sent too soon, and Philip's e-mail crossed mine.  Once more:

Martin that sounds good, and that would satisfy system-wide values and
eliminate the need for an environment variable.

But what about user changes?  I still like the idea of environment
variables for the location of that file or files or directory in order
to override any default.  At the moment I use symbolic links to work
around that.
