The code should check if there is a config file in /etc/owncloud and if 
so use it, if not, get it from the usual place. This place is the place 
where configs should go if distributed properly and oC should support 
that, see [1] for details.

That way packagers could include a proper preconfigured config.php in 
their packages.
