Portable Save Data

[AskaLangly]

Been noticing some of my favorite games, this included, dumping saves into %APPDATA%, which is a nuisance if I ever have to reinstall an OS.

I'd like the ability to have a portable install. As I lack experience in PR know-how, here's what I'd like you to do:

• Have the game's code find a portable.txt, of a zero byte size, in the game's root.
• If found, the game shall create a userdata directory in the game's root.
  • If no portable.txt is found, continue to create in %APPDATA%.

This would allow new players to immediately identify where their game saves are, as well as save the headache in grabbing the files from a former OS install.

There is a command-line option --profile_dir (for details see chapter 6 of README) to override the location of saved games, configuration, etc. If it's still not enough I could add the functionality you described.
