- I think that program's config files should be in the user's home
- directories, either as .something files or in a special .Atari
- folder... (so that the homedir get's not flooded with dotfiles...)
- systemwide config files should be in a general place anyway (in the
- lib or etc folders in /su or /usr/local)
