I don't think there's a need to describe what the program does in the name of
it's config dir.  We have a .openoffice.org3 dir for config, not a
.wordprocessor.spreadsheet.presentationgraphics.and.also.a.database.if.you.install.that.component3
directory :)

I've checked with the Sabayon Linux Distro guys, and they're not opposed to
/etc/sabayon.  Federico's suggestion was to store the profiles themselves
in /etc/sabayon/profiles

So:

/etc/sabayon will contain:

users.xml
groups.xml
sabayon-debug-log.conf (for now)
profiles
   |
   +---> profile1.zip
         profile2.zip

etc.

Migration for existing installations will be easy: a few cp's.  We'll just have
to document this in the next releases' readme.

Sound good to everyone?

Cheers!
Scott
