Here are a couple more GNOME ports like this. These files are site
specific configuration files, but they should not be edited. They are
used by the configure scripts of the ports which depend on them, to find
libs and correct flags. They are like (and used by) the *-config files.
However, they are not executables, so the choice is etc/ or share/gnome.
Since some of the ports install into ${LOCALBASE} before there is a
/share/gnome (ORBit, libghttp, libxml) the only real choice is etc/.
libdata/ maybe another choice.
