Patch by Remi Collet <rpms@famillecollet.com> for phpMyAdmin >= 3.3.0, which adds the possibility to put
config.inc.php into a FHS conform path (e.g. /etc/phpMyAdmin/) without the use of a symlink. More details
can be found at: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2965613&group_id=23067&atid=377411
