Filesystem "standards" are a mess to deal with and seem very different
on each unix flavor. To give you yet another directory, /var/lib seems
to be /var/db on BSDs.

However, it seems to me that tilp.reg shouldn't go there anyway. That
directory is used for state keeping data. "tilp.reg" is an ordinary
config file linking file types to programs. On BSDs it should be put in
${prefix}/etc. I've no idea where Linux should put though.
