They are used by gnome-config (which expects them in ${LOCALBASE}/etc).=20 Try it out: gnome-config xml --cflags gnome-config xml2 --cflags etc. Now, if you don't have gnome-config (part of gnomelibs), you should be using pkg-config to obtain install info on packages such as libxml. For example: pkg-config xml --cflags pkg-config xml2 --cflags etc. In short, we cannot move the .sh files out of ${LOCALBASE}/etc as that will break gnome-config, and a host of other applications.
