If these files are read-only, static data files they should be in
/usr/share/olsrd.  If they are updated at runtime, then something like
/var/lib or /var/cache would be more appropriate.  /var/cache is stuff
that is just cached and can be recreated.  /var/lib is stuff that
represents the state of the app.  DHCP leases go into /var/lib for
example, and downloaded packages go into /var/cache.
