[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #36477] use XDG dirs instead of HOME

[Carnë Draug]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #36477 (project octave):

I'm very much in favour of this but is anyone really following this
specification? At least in Debian Wheezy, looking at all my environment
variables, the only XDG variable I see is XDG_DATA_DIRS which is the less
useful for us. From their specification there's default values that should be
used when their value is not used.

I meant to have proposed a ~/.octave directory rather than having a
.octave_packages, .octaverc and .octave_hist files. But what tI was looking at
the GNU Coding standards and didn't saw reference a reference to anything.
