from http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html;
"Specifications may reference this specification by specifying the
location of a configuration file as $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/subdir/filename.
This implies that:
* Default configuration files should be installed to
$sysconfdir/xdg/subdir/filename with $sysconfdir defaulting to /etc.
* A user specific version of the configuration file may be created
in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/subdir/filename, taking into account the default
value for $XDG_CONFIG_HOME if $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not set.
* Lookups of the configuration file should search for
./subdir/filename relative to all base directories indicated by
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME and $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS . If an environment variable is
either not set or empty, its default value as defined by this
specification should be used instead."
