Agreed, that's bogus.

If upstream really does not like having a DATADIR preprocessor
constant, a suggestion could be that he hardcodes the contents of the
config file in the binary directly, and copies it to the relevant
$HOME config folder when it's missing. The drawback is that the
template would have to be maintained in the C++ source directly,
though it could also be kept as a regular text file and converted to a
header by the buildsystem.

Hope this helps,
