The ".googlemaps" folder

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Email from Kevin Lo

Since we use Yahoo maps by default, here's a trivial diff to change
tiles path to ".yahoomaps" instead of ".googlemaps".
Does it make sense to you? If so, I'll commit it, thanks.

Please do not commit just yet, that will create a backward
compatibility issue...

The ".googlemaps" folder holds all settings from the user:
 - gmapcatcher.conf
 - locations
 - markers

...and we already have an option to keep all tiles in individual
folders, see attached image.
it will create a tree structure similar to this:
+---.googlemaps
|   +---cloudmadeTiles
|   +---download
|   +---hyb_tiles
|   +---vemap
|   +---yahoohyb
|   +---yahoomap

The way I see it ".googlemaps" folder is a container for everything in
the application, and it should probably be called something else like
".GMapCatcher"
