$libdir/petsc/ if we want to be like libtool and pkgconfig.

$sysconfdir/petsc/ if we think of these as host-specific.

$datadir/petsc/ if we think of them as host-independent (similar to man
pages).


By default:

  libdir = $prefix/lib/
  sysconfdir = $prefix/etc/
  datadir = $prefix/share/

I think we could use any of these without getting in trouble with
package managers.
