If XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not set default to ~/.config

So xutconf can be in:

• $HOME
• $XDG_CONFIG_HOME if set
• or $HOME/.config if not $XDG_CONFIG_HOME set

If XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not set default to ~/.config So xutconf can be in: - $HOME - $XDG_CONFIG_HOME if set - or $HOME/.config if not $XDG_CONFIG_HOME set

That just complicates things :(
It may be better to just leave $HOME/xutconf as an option than to add a third possible location for the conf file.

$HOME is always $HOME :P
The issue arises already when suddenly, after a user installs or enables something that defines XDG_CONFIG_HOME everything clones again and their repos are absent...
Maybe the checks should change - first check for $HOME/xutconf, then for $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/xutconf.
I believe that fixes the issue...

I m not making xut for myself only - same issue with xlint and proper version/revision strings.
$HOME/.configfile was a de-facto standard, the XGD way is more of a documented one. I want to offer both with as fewer issues as possible.
