Use extreme caution if you do this.  Ideally the two files - ~/.basex
and .basex - would be merged, both would be used.

The caution is that if you upgrade to a newer BaseX version, presumably
in a new directory, your password and port will get reset to defaults,
opening up your site for remote access! The default from a security
perspective should obviously be that BaseX listens only on "localhost"
and no other network interface, or doesn't listen to any port at all,
without a configuration, but I don't think it is shipped that way.
