Consolidate configuration files

[Fxhnd]

At the moment we have three separate configuration files in the conf/ directory. The only difference between them are paths to base directories and command names/return values. It might be better to take the existing configuration files and place them under doc/sample_config for reference.

We would then update the software to look in the $USER/.macleod (*Nix) or $USER/macleod directory for a single configuration file. Setting the correct config values is then an installation step where a user copies the closest configuration and updates it accordingly.

This would also keep us from getting our config files stuck in the baseline every so often.

@Fxhnd We are going with the .macleod folder, yes?

Yes, it think that is what we agreed on.

We could just go with a regular macleod/ folder and drop the leading "." so it doesn't look weird for Windows users. The leading period was to make the folder hidden on *Nix systems, but in hindsight that's not the most user friendly approach. Best, Rob

I agree, lets drop the leading period. Torsten
