Another user noticed this.  I've removed this line from the code
entirely.

This is actually what a lot of modern packages are moving to, in
deference to the BSD 4.4 filesystem layout.

I've modified configure.in in my working source to initialize the
directory variables such that they won't be reset if they're set in
the environment.  So in the release, you could set the environment
variable "datadir" before running configure.  A command-line option
would be better, but autoconf doesn't give me very flexible tools for
accepting command-line options.

As you pointed out, this was due to me assuming a trailing slash on
the temporary directory name.  I've fixed this in the working sources.

I will look into the zephyrd errors you found, thanks.
