 projects. Usually the location can be overridden with an environment

 I understand, that there are tools which expect to have certificates in
 `/etc/grid-security/certificates`. But are there any tools expecting it to
 be in `${prefix}/etc/grid-security`.  If yes we can of cause put
 certificates in that location, if not there is probably no point in doing
 so. I personally, do not know of any (but have limited experience). The
 Globus toolkit for Macports currently looks up in `/etc/grid-security` and
 `/opt/local/share/certificates` and all software using GSI authentication
 does as we.

 them next to the certificate files. Aren't there also objections against
 having such variable data in .../share/...?

 Okay!
 Should, as a general rule, variable data not go into `.../var/...` then? I
 was assuming that is what is `${prefix}/var/cache/fetch-crl` for.
