Wingo doesn't look for config in $GOPATH/src/github.com/BurntSushi/wingo/data at startup #103

Though wingo --help says that $GOPATH/src/github.com/BurntSushi/wingo/data is one of the paths searched for data, it doesn't happen.

The only time that I actually get wingo to run is if I fix the --data-dir to an absolute directory.

What has worked for me is:

wingo --data-dir=$HOME/code/go/src/github.com/BurntSushi/wingo --replace

That is because wingo --write-config writes to "$HOME/.config/wingo"

Maybe. But wingo --help says that it should behave this way, and it does not. IMHO either help should be changed to match behavior, or wingo behavior should be changed to match doc.
