Fine, I'll do that.

Ok, so lets modify setup.py to always install the global pyxrc. You
can get "/etc" from distutils somehow (and you can set it to a
different location like with "--home=..." or even within the
setup.cfg). I'll take a look at it and do an implementation together
with an enhancement of siteconfig.py.
