Where is the best place for me to change the PID file location? I _could_ change it in ssh.h but then I'd have to do this every time. Am I best to put in a -DPIDDIR="/etc" or something? Alternatively, would it be easy to change the configure.in stuff to let me do a --pid-dir="/etc" or a --pid-file="/etc/ssh.pid"?
