Yes, it works. But "/var/unbound/etc" was the choice during configure
which means a little more work:
The autotrust path line in unbound.conf needs to be edited with the
new root.key path.
The new autotrust path must be specified when running unbound-anchor
(or the compiled in default will be used).
The new autotrust directory must be created with proper permissions.

It's not a big deal, and it would maybe add a line or two to the
proposed function addition to the rc file, but it would be better to
just adjust the configure options when building the package if it's so
dangerous to provide the daemon write access to its own configuration
directory. I figured if the package creator compiled in those defaults
they should be used instead of my original workaround (adding the
directory, etc.).
