I think that the best way here would be to have the sofficerc, unorc, and the 
other *rc's in /etc - that way the distro could choose whatever they prefer 
(everything in /usr/lib/whatever, in /usr/{bin,lib,share}, or /opt/whatever), 
and the binary would be always easy to find (provided that the $ORIGIN was 
set in one of those files ;-) ).  But maybe I'm just wrong & unaware of some 
problems I don't know, of course...

Regards,
Jan
