Given there seems to be a number of people asking for allowing the
user-specific files to be at an arbitrary location, I am considering
putting this in. Currently having them at the fixed spot in the user
profile simplifies the code somewhat, which was desirable due to the added
complications introduced by the Vista security model (in the past we kept
the binaries and user files in the same directory, so there was only one
thing to keep track of).
