ThisDomainWPDirectory: string
    Default: none
    Normally, the White Pages database for some domain DOMAINNAME (often
    ThisDomain) is found in directory
        /afs/DOMAINNAME/service/wp
    Sites that have wanted to use the White Pages without using AFS have
    had to fabricate this path name on their systems.  However, as a
    special case, the Andrew installer may set the ThisDomainWPDirectory
    to be the name of the directory in which the White Pages for domain
    ThisDomain may be found.

What this means is that if you're not using AFS and you want to build a
WP for some domain DOMAINNAME, you should by default put your WP in the
directory named /afs/DOMAINNAME/service/wp.  What ``fabricate'' means is
that you'd have to make this directory exist (with ordinary mkdir
commands) if it doesn't exist already.
