Thanks for the review Petr.

The reason why I did not use CONF_USR_DIR in these patches is because I 
wanted to minimize the number and amount of changes. But I asked myself 
the same question when I first looked at this and other similar occurrences.

Let me know if I should update the patches to use CONF_{USR,ETC}_DIR.
