GNATS 4, today's CVS snapshot.

I had some problem to put the `defaults' file to the appropriate
location, as dictated by Debian standards.  Could you please look at the
attached patch and tell me whether there is a better way to change the
location of the file or (if there's not) to put support for changing it?
