Lets say: we don't want to overwrite an already existing file.
so for now the user needs to copy it manualy (and I hope he thinks
before cut&pasting a copy command). The code could be changed
to copy it if it does not exist, or to copy it to .new or so
if it already does exist.

but personally I still prefer:
- not install it in the source code (only document the need to do that)
- let distributions handle it, they know best how to deal with it.
- let the user handle it, who knows what they want better than any
distribution or software author.

ah, ok. so could you look at the lastest opensc.conf.in and tell
me which changes you need for solaris? we can either merge those
changes into the default config file, or modify the file in solaris/
so it is the default config file plus those changes. (or maybe
we can use sed to get a solaris specific config file from the
default one).
