leafnode uses autoconf defaults (/usr/local unless overridden by a
locally installed config.site)

It will automatically append /leafnode to sysconfdir - the config.c file
that is created by "make" (or make config.c) shows the real defaults -
so /usr/local/etc/leafnode/config is what you get.

There is some mess here, I don't want to pollute some pristine
$sysconfdir but many auto-configuration systems pass --sysconfdir=/etc
(or /usr/local/etc) that's why I'm appending leafnode.
