For a system-wide installation this conflicts with the Linux FHS,
which specifies "Applications must generally not add directories to the
top level of /var".

At minimum the path should be reasonably easily configurable, which is
what the attached patch does: it allows
	./configure CPPFLAGS=-DPIDFILE='\"/my/desired/path\"'
Currently it is necessary to use
	make CPPFLAGS=-DLIBDIR=...\ -DCONFDIR=...\ -DPIDFILE=...
always specyfing all three variables.
See also (info '(automake)Flag Variables Ordering').

Thanks,
