Proposed: basedir-spec

[Daniel Stone]

I'm proposing basedir-spec with this mail.

Rationale:
basedir-spec provides a common way for applications to locate the paths
in which they should store and retrieve data, and this spec enjoys wide
support across most free desktop platforms. As users increasingly
install 'bleeding edge' development software, it is done to paths like
/opt/fdo, paths under $HOME, et al; basedir-spec goes a long way towards
mitigating the trouble this causes by defining a way to locate data
files.

Candidate version: 0.6

Upstream: fd.o
