Re: [Nmh-workers] 1.7's `make clean' is Overzealous.

Thus said Ken Hornstein on Tue, 05 Dec 2017 09:15:54 -0500:

If it's the latter, then that suggests to me that we should simply put
nmh config files in $(sysconfdir). If packages are installing files in
$(sysconfdir)/foo, then I'd  like to see how they  deal with packaging
systems to avoid $(sysconfdir)/foo/foo.

OpenBSD uses SYSCONFDIR in it's Makefile:

SYSCONFDIR=             ${PREFIX}/lib/nmh

According to the  man page this is passed on  to GNU configure (probably
--sysconfdir=${PREFIX}/lib/nmh as an argument).

PREFIX is typically  /usr/local, which after nmh is  built and installed
results in  /usr/local/lib/nmh as the place  where default configuration
is found.
