Comment(by jelte):

 Ok, there's been a lot of partly unrelated commits to this branch (mainly
 merges from trunk updates to problems we found gearing up for the release
 branch), but the important one regarding this ticket are r2049 and r2053
 (that last one renamed isc_config.py to bind10_config.py).

 So the idea is based upon suggestion 3 in the module and the response by
 Evan; it defines a one-file base level module that is meant to contain
 configure-time variables (mostly paths). Currently it only contains the
 one that is needed to make the tests run, i.e. the default path for the
 msgq domain socket file.

 This module is added straight to the base for the python modules (and
 specifically not beneath isc/ there), so that we don't get directory
 conflicts from having a separate build directory.

 Later I think we could move everything that's needed for .py.in files in
 here and move those back to plain .py files, but it is a conceptual
 change, instead of putting hard defaults in several places we put them in
 one (bind10_config.py).

 I know this is a conceptual change after the freeze, but imo the other two
 options are to either pull back the whole domain sockets change or live
 with failing tests (if you build in a separate directory), so I prefer
 this one gets squeezed in ;)
