Description
Currently Mangler saves its configuration files in .mangler. This behavior is undesirable as it litters a user's filesystem with dotfiles in $HOME.
The X Desktop Group has attempted to remedy this with the publication of the XDG Base Directory Specification.
Briefly, Mangler should honor the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME environment variable and save configuration files in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mangler. If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not set, Mangler should save configuration files in $HOME/.config/mangler.
