I love seeing top-post emails from our fearless leader :-)

And I really like this suggestion. As I said before… I just dislike adding files to the $HOME directory…
Trivial enough to fix as I simply have an OS specific helper function that provides the default location (and a way to overwrite this with a setting).
My code still needs to be tested on the non-Linux OSs and some cleanup, but I should have something ready tomorrow at the latest (not much hacking time on weekends).
