I like this idea generally, for the reasons you've listed.  I wonder
though whether you think /opt/csw/etc/$something/CSWfoo would be
acceptable.  This would provided a single container for all
directories (packages) that want to use this facility without much
additional clutter in a spot that is clutter prone to begin with.  I'm
not sure what I'd suggest for $something though.  Maybe 'pkg' or
'packages' or 'cswconf'?

Is this a reasonable modification or do others see problems with it?

Thanks
