So you're arguing that ssh should look in ${PREFIX}/etc for it's config
files?

_I_ still prefer looking for config files in /etc, but I can certainly
live with the ${PREFIX}/etc -> /etc thing.  However, I'd be pretty hard
pressed to believe that ssh (for example, and there's no others I can
think of) would look in a possibly shared directory for *sensitive* host
information.
