Sorry, these files are not all the same.
libpng-config
libpng12-config
pcre-config
are used by package configure scripts to figure out where libraries and
header files have been installed. E.g. they provide information; they
do not modify your system.
iu-config
ssh-host-config
ssh-user-config
are "system setup" scripts used to install or initialize daemons. These
modify your system.
I wouldn't mind if these scripts were moved into /usr/sbin or something,
but leave the libpng-config/pcre-config style scripts alone. They NEED
to be in the path of normal users.
