We can define the default location in libnetfilter_conntrack.h, eg.

#define NFCT_CONNLABEL_CFG "/etc/xtables/connlabel.conf"

I think connlabel is not of much use without libnetfilter_conntrack,
since it provides the translation of the connlabel mapping. So we can
conditionally compile connlabel support if libnetfilter_conntrack is
installed. We can make it a soft dependency, ie. no need for
--enable-connlabel.

Regards.
