Comment (by gdt):

 I think it's a bug for people who use tahoe to have to have any idea that
 it is built on twisted.  That's just an implementation detail which should
 be changeable.

 I'd like to see a configure-time set of switches that set --datadir and
 the other usual things that autoconf uses, and then for various files to
 go in the normal places relative to those switches.  I'm a little fuzzy on
 the details but the point is that there are many programs out there which
 do 95% of what we need.

 The one place tahoe is special is in having a huge data directory.  But
 generally programs that do that express it in a configuration file.   So
 perhaps distributions should patch the default file, which can be in
 ${PREFIX}/share/examples/tahoe/tahoe.cfg.   Right now the config file is
 generated programmatically, which is awkward.
