Comment (by nickm):

 Some quick thoughts:
    * Changing the *default* search path for torrc is probably not a great
 idea; it would break anybody who is using the current default location.
    * Having a tor.d directory is an okay idea. You'll need a fairly
 rigorous definition of what order the files in it are read, and how they
 interact with torrc and the defaults_torrc (if any).  (Make sure you
 understand how the defaults-torrc logic works here before designing
 anything; make sure it can be reused.)
    * SAVECONF will need to treat definitions in /etc/tor.d as defaults, so
 that when it replaces torrc, it doesn't copy all of tor.d into torrc.
