I got a response on the gentoo dev list today, and that just
confused the issue more for me.  I was told that according to the fhs,
/var/lib is the correct localstatedir, and this link was sited:
http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#VARLIBVARIABLESTATEINFORMATION

This isn't really an issue because I can get around the difference like
I said above with a --localstatedir option to configure, but can you
please tell me why you see it differently for my own education?

Thanks,

William
