Either way is probably fine, there is always the APP_CONFIG_DIRECTORY  
option to change the location. As long as this is honored, just  
mentioning the change in the changelog should be enough.

What might be useful to add, is an option to set the name of the UNIX  
socket (which is hard coded now) through a cmake option. In openSUSE  
we patch this to a different name, but this needs to be done in  
several files, so a cmake option would help.
