Right -- but actually SETUP.cfg doesn't serve a real purpose
during apsfilter operation, it just saves the SETUP options
for a possible re-run. So even if write access is denies,
apsfilter will still work correctly.

Since it doesn't do much harm anyway, I guess that SETUP.cfg
(and .requested_snailmail, while we're at it) can surely
live in /etc as well.
