default location of smb.conf in head

I've been trying to get samba3 working lately
(i need the domain groups stuff)

my latest question involves the default location of 
smb.conf

in 2.2.x 

the makefile says 

CONFIGFILE = $(CONFIGDIR)/smb.conf
LMHOSTSFILE = $(CONFIGDIR)/lmhosts
DRIVERFILE = $(CONFIGDIR)/printers.def

but in head it says

LOGFILEBASE = $(VARDIR)
CONFIGFILE = $(LIBDIR)/smb.conf
LMHOSTSFILE = $(LIBDIR)/lmhosts
DRIVERFILE = $(LIBDIR)/printers.def

why the change?

it appears to ignore 
--with-configdir=/etc/samba 
now

am I missing something here?
why would anybody want config files in /usr/lib ?

I've got things to run by adding -s /etc/samba/smb.conf 
but that seems lame.
