I don't know of any app that uses /usr/local/etc for anything.. but pianobar doesn't come with an example config so I had to add it to the CMakeList files myself and evidently I am not fulling understanding the proper way to do it.

I'm not sure what to do at this point.. having auto-builder do it is the "proper" way to build the app.. do I leave it as is and you fix qtPianobar.. or do I find some way to pass an environment variable or something to auto-builder so that it builds in /usr/ instead of /usr/local ??
Well ultimately I would like to see nothing in the /usr tree at all and certainly no configs in /etc. All apps should go into /opt as per optification rules to avoid using rootfs space. No configs should go into /etc that are not daemons or system level software. I much prefer the config in the user space.
