Comment (by jhpalmieri):
Here are two versions. If we want the easy root, the first version just
makes the change

The second version deals (I think) with the matplotlib issue, creating the
config directory in sage.misc.misc, where other subdirectories of
`DOT_SAGE` are created. It's not a very significant difference: the file
[attachment:trac_11932-sage.v2.patch] and these changes to the root patch:

If you have time to look at the second version, please consider it. If you
would rather deal with just the first version here, we can move the other
version to a new ticket.
