I do not insist on a specific path like /usr/local/* That's why I 
sent the patch with the -I option ..

But then system wide files should not go there, but to some system 
direcotry that is not shared site wide (you don't want to have each 
NetBSD box in your cluster to send a remainder to every user ..).

I personally also don't like to have user files in /etc. So I wouldn't
want user calendars there. But with the -I option every one can just
do as (s)he likes.
