The thing is though that this isn't something that has anything to do with
xkbcomp, we literally call "xkbcomp [...] /foo/bar/mykeymap.xkm" and expect
the output to be written there. xkbcomp doesn't care where as long as it can
write that file. This should be in /var/run/$pid/ and we should default to
that in configure, although there's some argument to keeping them across
server restarts.

Does anything else actually rely on that path? because if it's just for the
distcheck flags, I don't think this is worth it.

Cheers,
