This is not the intended use, it is only meant for people that wish to  
override the build-in default value. Provide ./configure with the path  
where the config files will be stored and most people will never have  
to touch this.

Agree. But the question is : what is "the path where the config files
will be stored" in a Windows environnement ? I am not sure how to handle
this correctly right now. If you have any suggestion...

Windows has a few Shell functions to get paths to locations such the
proper "Program Files" directory, and I think there might even be an
environment variable for that.
