Slab.ini file created in unexpected location #110

Running the Slab demo from /home/me/projects/Slab with love . will create /home/me/projects/Slab.ini (one directory up). I haven't tested what happens on other platforms.

I suppose the intent is to create the file next to the .love or .exe file? This can fail in many cases; the user might not have write access to that location. For example, if you distribute your game as a Linux package for some distro, it will be installed in a location where there is no write access for non-root users.

The game's designated save directory would be the right location for the file imo.

Oh yeah I forgot about this one. It happens to me as well on Linux.

Yeah this sounds good.

I think my commit for this is sufficient

I have updated the API and made more examples in the snippet in the wiki
