I don't really get the rationale.  /etc/drirc could be properly managed
by the package manager - shipped alongside *_dri.so in the same package.
Maybe it isn't today, but it could be handled well.

But ~/.drirc is entirely in the users control.  Neither the distros nor
us can manage what the user puts there.  It's *very* likely to be
stale...
