why not use /home/weewx as the base directory so that the paths are 
/home/weewx/bin/weewxd, /home/weewx/weewx.conf, and /home/weewx/weewx.log

i think that is the convention we have used in other configuration files - 
assume a setup.py installation for any boilerplate files.  we do this on 
debian, redhat, and suse.  and the macos install guide is written for 
/home/weewx

any package installers or per-platform guides can then simply swap out the 
path, or provide the preferred paths/locations for the platform
