Ick. If the user changes the hostname or something after installing
the package, the file would need to be hand modified. For now,
I think the best thing to do would be to leave those variables out.

Regardless, /etc/athena and /bin/athena will be on the local
disk, even with a syspack. I guess leaving it where
it is and putting a symlink from /etc/rc.d/rc.athena would
be best for now.
