The GNU finger configuration scripts and include files seem to have
some duplicate information for installation paths (the Makefiles,
config.h, and fingerpaths.h).

This should be fixed so that it is easy to change the top level of all
the paths with one command, like configure --prefix.  Currently, this
doesn't edit fingerpaths.h, or change the destination directory for
the install targets.

Also, it would be nice to make it easy to install the information in
FingerDir (or is it FINGERDIR?) in something like /var/adm/finger
instead of /usr/local/etc/finger, since some of that information can
be local to each client (ttylocs), and on many systems, /usr/local is
mounted from a central server and shared by all the clients.

If not that, then perhaps the ttylocs file should be allowed to
include terminal information for more than one host.  Maybe something
like:

  foo.bar.com:tty01	Foo Bar Plaza, Room 1009
  podunk.edu:tty03	Ivory Tower, B13

This way, the file could be shared and include information for each
tty for every host served.
