I may be missing something, but two of the three URLs you mentioned use
absolute paths.

iodigitalsec: DKIM_PRIVATE_KEY = /etc/exim4/dkim.27564764.key
systemmajik: DKIM_PRIVATE_KEY = CONFDIR/dkim.private.rsa1
(where CONFDIR is a global macro)

The mikepultz post doesn't, but also doesn't explicitly specify where to
create the key in the first place.
