It seems to be created on the fly with the _current_ working directory 
included. I don't understand what's the point ? (My current working 
directory when building is /mnt/dar/BUILD/dia-0.92/

Apart from that, it doesn't work when I fix the run_dia.sh with proper 
paths.

I tried that, but apart from the fact that it cannot find my defaults I 
see nothing interesting. Dia doesn't expect to have an existing 
configuration, does it ?
