Re: cfengine config files location

[Mark . Burgess]

There is no filesystem standard, that is why I made the decision
to go with /var/cfengine = "WORKDIR"

I suggest we drop this discussion. At some future time we can reorganize
the files within /var/cfengine, as Kenth Skaar suggested a while ago, but
for now I would like to avoid upheavals.
