FeatureServer now puts the config file in a standard locatoin used by
Python eggs, and has support for copying it to any location via the
featureserver_install_config.py script which is documented in the
readme.

setup.py should be putting the config file inside the package resources,
not in any 'install prefix' directly. I don't know where you think this
code belongs: the only script which puts anything anywhere is setup.py,
and that's a python script, not a shell script. 

If you're using setup.py, and you want the old behavior, you can use the
--debian flag to tell FeatureServer to do what it was doing before, but
/sw/featureserver-py25/featureserver.cfg definitely seems like the
*wrong* place to put something... I don't know if you're using debian
packages, or some other packages, or what...

Help me out? Make me understand what I'm missing?
