Hi all,

I could use your opinion about a change we'd planned to make in 0.104. By request, I'd made this pull request to change the default directory for the config files from <prefix>/etc to <prefix>/etc/clamav. The purpose being to de-clutter /usr/local/etc: https://github.com/Cisco-Talos/clamav/pull/182

I procrastinated merging it for a long time because while it feels like a good change it will require a change to our test framework and would likely break scripts for other users as well. Some justification for the change at this time is that with the build system change to cmake, users will likely have to change the same scripts anyhow so we don't have any better time.

Unfortunately, I procrastinated it so hard I forgot to merge it before the first release candidate. Now, I can't decide if it's right to merge it before the second release candidate or throw it away. I would like your opinion.

Either way is probably fine, there is always the APP_CONFIG_DIRECTORY option to change the location. As long as this is honored, just mentioning the change in the changelog should be enough.

What might be useful to add, is an option to set the name of the UNIX socket (which is hard coded now) through a cmake option. In openSUSE we patch this to a different name, but this needs to be done in several files, so a cmake option would help.
