By default vanilla siegfried defaults to a "siegfried" folder in users' home directories.

I should probably use https://xdgbasedirectoryspecification.com/ & on windows use appdata

An environment variable (SIEGFRIED_HOME) too would be nice. Order to choose home dir would be: -home flag first, then env var, then default location xdg.
