+[[meta title="genericize all filesystem locations to enable test suite:" ]]
+
+I'm in the process of writing a testsuite for the monkeysphere so that
+we can verify that it actually performs all the basic expected duties
+properly.
+
+It occurs to me that lines like these:
+
+    ETC="/etc/monkeysphere"
+    VARLIB="/var/lib/monkeysphere"
+
+Actually make it very difficult to generically test the tool without
+it being installed system-wide.
+
+Is there any reason that we should not allow these directories to be
+overridden with environment variables in the same way that
+`/usr/share/monkeysphere/share` is handled?
+
+    SHARE=${MONKEYSPHERE_SHARE:-"/usr/share/monkeysphere"}
+
+I guess i'm proposing something like:
+
+    SYSCONFIGDIR=${MONKEYSPHERE_SYSCONFIGDIR:-"/etc/monkeysphere"}
+    SYSDATADIR=${MONKEYSPHERE_SYSDATADIR:-"/var/lib/monkeysphere"}
+
+Thoughts?
