_PATH_VARRUN is not defined anywhere nor are there any hooks to define
it as far as I can see. syslogd writes its pid file to /etc if
_PATH_VARRUN is not defined. This seems fine. zhm, on the other
hand, writes to CONFDIR (/usr/local/etc by default for non-Athena
sites) which is generally a shared directory. zhm should also default
to /etc, or there should be another variable in configure.in that can
be overridden at configure and compile time.
Here's my patch. Hopefully you will have a better one.
