The default value is ${prefix}/etc/qemu.  --sysconfdir can be used to override
the default to an absolute path.  The expectation is that when installed to
/usr, --sysconfdir=/etc/qemu will be used.

Sorry for not being precise; --sysconfdir in Autoconf is just ${prefix}/etc.

That's tough for us because on Windows, we store everything in a single 
directory.  That is, ${sysconfdir}/qemu wouldn't be a good base for us.  
We would need to have sysconfdir and then a confdir that we could make 
different for win32.

That makes sense.  sysconf for system, conf for qemu.
