I think you mistake this with the runtime definition with of cfg_dir in
nagios.cfg.
The suggested define in location.in.h is only a compile time
definition. It allows me to create new source files, say myproject.c
and in it do something like
fp =3D open(DEFAULT_CONFIG_DIR "myproject.cfg");
without tampering other nagios source files while being flexible at where
the config files reside. In the current situation I need to create a
file that is processed by the configure step to set the correct place
for config files.

So it has nothing to do with cfg_dir...
