I think by this point users should be well aware of what --sysconfdir
does. I have no objection to removing it.
What I would really like to see is the KDE (and Gnome, if applicable)
section set up the Xorg is. In the preinstallation configuration
section, set up a variable containing all the common switches. Where
Xorg has
export XORG_CONFIG="--prefix=$XORG_PREFIX --sysconfdir=/etc \
--mandir=$XORG_PREFIX/share/man --localstatedir=/var"
KDE would have
export KDE_CONFIG="--prefix=$KDE_PREFIX --sysconfdir=/etc/kde \
--disable-debug --disable-dependency-tracking
Other necessary options could be then added to the configure line, like
elsewhere in Xorg. I'm aware that sysconfdir would be redundant for
some parts of KDE, but it doesn't hurt anything and would simplify the
commands.
