I object for now. Putting things in ~/.scummvm is completely sensible,
but I object for the same reason that we have not done this in the past:
	A) Causes disparity between ports (obviously, we know that :)
	B) Will cause user confusion when their saves vanish

I have a lot more to say about this, but I'm late for work so I'll
e-mail about it later :)
