Here required changes of the platform related doc changes may be collected. from bug 42441: How about this for some installation-neutral wording which could go in the man page, avoiding having to do the dbus-daemon.1.in -> dbus-daemon.1 dance? """ The --session option is equivalent to using --config-file to select the standard configuration file session.conf provided with D-Bus. Similarly, the --system option is equivalent to using --config-file to select system.conf. These files are typically found in /etc/dbus-1 on Unix systems, or in the etc/dbus-1 subdirectory of the installation root on Windows systems. """

(In reply to comment #1) > Do you have noticed that there are a few more references to > @EXPANDED_SYSCONFDIR@ ? I hadn't. I think I'd still prefer the man page to be platform-neutral (so it's something we can sensibly publish on the web) but it'll be more work to come up with platform-neutral wording for those bits.
