[clamav-users] Opinion wanted: Change default config directory usr/clamav

[Mark Fortescue]

Hi Micah,

On my uBuntu distributions the config files have been in /etc/clamav at 
least since uBuntu 10.04 LTS so I see no issue with the change.

It makes /usr/local/etc consistent with /etc which is always a good 
thing when you are trying to debug/find/compare things when something 
has gone wrong.

Regards
	Mark.
