  Description     : Get a user's existing config directory, or copy in defaults

Many modules or applications maintain a user-spec configuration data directory. And the implementation pattern is generally the same.

A directory like /home/myuser/.application is created and populating by a set of default files the first time an application runs, and from there 
on, the files in that directory are modified.

File::UserConfig provides standard, light and sub-classable default implementation of this concept that Does The Right Thing with the directory 
names.
