There can be only one xen.rpm (from make rpmball) active at a time. So I
think its perfectly fine to have a fixed /var dir, without $PREFIX.
For /etc is more complex because some parts are system configuration
(udev), other parts are internal to xen (scripts), and runlevel scripts
can be started manually if needed. Adding $PREFIX to /etc feels wrong.
In any case, I will preserve existing defaults.
