[pedevel] Building on Haiku, /boot/common instead of /boot/home/config?

Today I tried building Pe on Haiku, but got an error about pcre
missing.  Well it turns out it wasn't missing, but it was installed in
/boot/common instead of /boot/home/config.  I started looking through
the code and found numerous cases where /boot/home/config was hard
coded in.  I assume there's a better way to handle it that I don't yet
know about? Perhaps a MACRO or something like that?
Anyways I ran grep -nri '/boot/home/config' ../trunk to locate all
cases and changed those over to /boot/common, except when it was
looking for config/settings.  Are custom settings eventually also
moving to /boot/common or will those stay in home/config/settings?
Attached is the .diff file.  Making this change did allow pe r537 to
compile on Haiku.
This patch will most likely break building pe on BeOS and/or Zeta, so
probably not something you'd want to apply.  If I can be directed to a
better type of solution this can serve as a guide to finding the cases
that need fixing in a better way.

                <p>Incremental search is a powerful feature, which you can 
start by a keystroke or by clicking the Incremental Search button. When Pe is 
in Incremental Search mode, every character you type is added to a search 
string and Pe will immediately try to find that string. By default Incremental 
Search is case insensitive but you can change this.<br>
                The search pattern will be entered into the Find Dialog, so if 
you feel the need to see the search string you entered, you can find it there. 
If you type the Incremental Search command twice, the last search pattern will 
be re-used.
