I was going to say "their default values are wrong", but I looked
more closely, and while their default values *are* wrong
(sharedstatedir is $prefix/com (?) for instance), it looks like
it's possible to override the value using configure.in and still
allow it to be set. I'll give that a try, see if the necessary
cases work right.
