Though perhaps a standard function to do such name munging would be a
nice idea, e.g.:

  (user-customization-file-name BASE &optional DOTFILE)

if .emacs.d doesn't exist  =>  (concat "~/" (or DOTFILE (concat "." BASE)))
if .emacs.d does eixst     =>  (concat "~/.emacs.d/" BASE)

Then the savehist example would be (user-customization-file-name "savehist"),
and .emacs would be (user-customization-file-name "init.el" ".emacs")
