Use XDG standard for finding config files?

I still need to look into it more, but this looks interesting: https://rubyworks.github.io/xdg/

The idea is nice but the last commit for this project is from 2012 :-/

@mvz should we close this one?

I still think it's a good idea, but that gem probably won't help us. I relabeled it for now.

ℹ️ If it's of interest, I have the Runcom gem which implements the XDG spec (partially, more support is in the works). I use it for all of my CLIs. I extracted this functionality to a gem because I ran into this issue too and wanted to solve the problem once and use in multiple CLIs.

Thanks, @bkuhlmann, that looks like a good alternative for Rubyworks' abandoned project.

ℹ️ If it helps, since I last posted above, I've adopted the XDG gem now. The XDG gem is a Ruby implementation of the spec while Runcom is a layer on top of XDG which provides developer nicities which deviate/enhance the XDG spec. 😉
