Not really IMO. I'd like to keep LibGG as stateless, and independent
of GII/GGI, as possible, and hardcoding a GII/GGI config dir into the
library would even be sort of a circular depencdency.

If we really want to have the confdir fixed to one place it should
be in LibGII, not in LibGG. Hmm, how about this - the default is
for LibGGI to get the confdir with giiGetConfDir(), but it can be
overriden at configure-time with --enable-confdir ?
