Support XDG Base Directory Specification #38

Linux only

Hey. I think it would be cool to support XDG BDS to avoid unnecessary littering of home directory. The binaries can also automatically install into user's bin directory so they will "just work" without need to adding anything to $PATH etc.

@Fuco1 that is a fantastic idea!

Also, we've had some issues with the way I'm handling this in OS X. I'd like to get both to point where this just works.

Thanks @Fuco1 !
