i might ask why put them in /usr/.../etc?  i understand that
traditionally, that is where they should go but the world is
apparently moving to a /usr is read-only model.  configuration
files should go in /etc along with all the other configuration files. at
a minimum i would say search /etc first and then fall back to the old
transarc paths.
