Here is what I'm trying to do. The "Application" can live anywhere - I'm
choosing to install it in /opt/sbbs (so it is from /opt/sbbs, I run the make
install after downloading the makefile from here).

Once the build is complete, in /opt/sbbs I have the sbbs "application" files in
/opt/sbbs/exec (and standard web pages in ./web, doors in ./xtrn).. Everything
else in /opt/sbbs is considered "configuration" (how SBBS works) or "data"
(message, files, menus, etc)... I want to move those files to be under
/opt/sbbs/data/{node1,node2,ctrl,text,mods...}. 

I set SBBSCTRL to /opt/sbbs/data/ctrl, and with PATH set to /opt/sbbs/exec
"scfg" works no problems. However, when I start sbbs /opt/sbbs/exec/sbbs, it
starts looking for stuff in /opt/sbbs/data/exec. Now the kludge fix would be to
symlink that back, but I would rather fix it properly. (I have executables
looked for in /opt/sbbs/exec.) I thought SBBSEXEC would enable that but it
appears to not be effective.

Does this make sense?
