Any other directories / files, that a binary like bacula-bat may need, 
can be kept in the programs directory. It doesn't really need to leave 
there, since its compiled with LOCALBASE=/Programs/BaculaBat<Ver>

In other words, if you just include etc/ or share/pixmaps within it, the 
binary should know to "look" in that directory for its supplemental files.

Sounds good :)
