Argh, it went into the server package, and there will be an install
conflict between the coda-server and coda-client packages when I add it
to both. Does anyone know a solution without creating yet another
package (something like coda-common, containing only codaconfedit)?

In any case, here it is.

# It looks for the configuration file specified by the user as is, and
# by prepending the path of the coda configuration directory (/etc/coda,
# /usr/pkg/etc/coda, /usr/local/etc/coda, depending on where Coda was
# installed). If the variable already has the new value, nothing is
# modified. Otherwise any existing entries are commented out and the new
# entry is appended right behind the last existing previous entry (or at
# the end of the configuration file if the variable didn't exist before.
