What do you think about fetching from raw github url or somehow using a `git submodule` (to masterfiles) in conjuction with the automake-file changes and perl script?

The proposed will accomplish generating the hardcoded failsafe from the supplied failsafe.cf however it relies on the individual to always remember to keep failsafe.cf up-to-date before compiling and packaging / installing; also, the hard-coded FAILSAFE path imposes a particular directory structure... presumably:
```
common-dir/
common-dir/masterfiles/
common-dir/core/
```
