I think I'd prefer locations under /etc for pmrep. But it's still on the
todo list to check other than ./pmrep.conf, not sure would changing the
default to /etc/pcp/pmrep/pmrep.conf be an issue, I'm ok either way. But
the global metrics should be disabled from the example config, they'd
cause needless confusion for first time users.

Thanks,
