X Resources file for x11 terminal

[Ethan A M. <merritt@u.washington.edu>]

I've created an X Resources file for gnuplot.
But which directory should it be kept in?
  .../term
  .../share
  .../docs

And is there a way to have the autoconfigure
tools figure out where such files are kept on the
system so that it can be installed?  

On my machines these files live variously in
   /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults
   /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults
but I'm sure other systems keep them other places.
