Implement preliminary support for XDG Base Directory Specification. See http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html. This feature was requested for a long time (feature requests #1950978 and #2289481). For now, it is disabled since it breaks compatibility with previous versions. To be able to test it, you have to enable it by defining USE_XDG to 1 in main.h. geeqierc and other conf files are going to: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/geeqie/ (default to $HOME/.config/geeqie/). metadata and thumbnails cache (if std is not used) are going to: $XDG_CACHE_HOME/geeqie/metadata/ (default to $HOME/.cache/geeqie/metadata/) and $XDG_CACHE_HOME/geeqie/thumbnails/ (default to $HOME/.cache/geeqie/thumbnails/) collections are going to: $XDG_DATA_HOME/geeqie/collections/ (default to $HOME/.local/share/geeqie/collections/) Please test and report any issue.

A brief overview for those that wish to work with the source.

The Makefiles and configure script are generated by the autogen.sh script, usually
only distributed with snapshot releases. Running autogen.sh requires automake
and autoconf. GNU gettext may also be needed by autogen.sh.

SVN commits _require_ an explicit log message. Think it will be used in the release
Changelog.

Coders should respect general coding style (see CODING).

Coders, please resync po/POTFILES.in if you add or remove source files from src/
directory (using regen_potfiles.sh script in po/) and re-run make update-po 
when appropriate to keep translations in sync with the code.

Maintainers, don't forget to run make update-po before releases.

Translators, please have a look at po/README.
