I did not do any real testing, but it looked like all uses of those %C 
and %P, etc, symbols was that all the search paths looked in / first and 
then in $PREFIX second. This meant that it was impossible to override a 
system file by putting something into $PREFIX.

However I then realized that changing the search path would not fix any 
xwayland because a "real" installation would not have a $PREFIX anyway, 
so there had to be a different method to give wayland a different .conf 
file. So at that point I switched to using a different name for the 
.conf file.

I don't know if there are other conflicting files in xorg.conf.d. If so 
they may need renaming for the wayland version too.
