Search for a previous mail posted by jlam in another thread about the
same thing.  He said that this variable is not intended to be changed
by the user.

Because you are not supposed to change it (again, according to that mail).

and ugly (for the plist things), imo.

Just as we have an standard place to install example files (that is,
share/examples/package/), there is one for rc.d scripts (actually,
etc/rc.d/).  So what we have to do is change the default to
share/examples/rc.d/ and fix packages acordingly. (just fixing plists
in most cases).
