See the many, many past discussions of just this point.
The bottom line here is any change in the socket file location will
cause compatibility problems (as in, all your old clients stop working).
7.1 does allow the socket file location to be changed, either at
build time or as a runtime option, but I'm afraid to change the
default value...
