[opendx-dev] A dangling patch for using $HOME/.dx/.

[Rob Lahaye]

Hello,

In the past, I have submitted a patch, which was then sort of
considered adding, but never made it into CVS.

The patch to Application.C uses a $HOME/.dx/ subdirectory for all
the DX app. files, instead of putting these files directly in $HOME.
Patch is below.

Regards,
Rob.
