 I just took a peek in our faqs to see if there was a "Where is my data
 directory?" entry I could link to. We don't seem to have one, and
 [https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-manual.html.en tor's man page] says
 "Store working data in DIR (Default: @LOCALSTATEDIR@/lib/tor)". I have no
 clue what that macro expands to, nor would I expect users to. :)

 If we can't clarify the manual page then this seems like something we
 should include in our FAQ since it in turn defines the path of our
 authentication cookie among other things.
