[BRLTTY] xdg

>it appears that xdg stands for X development group or something like that.

I think it's "X Desktop Group". This being said, it's intended for much more 
general use than that. It even allows for user-specific configuration, which, 
in my opinion, makes it the better choice for a general standard. As I see it, 
they named it after themselves because that was easy to do. It's general, 
though, and, to me, that ought to make it eligible to become the new 
"standard". Another of its benefits is that it also defines, via environment 
variables, where otehr important parts of the running environment are.

So, unless anyone can change my mind (which is always a possibility except for 
the one thing I won't bend on - that the Bible is written by God and is truth), 
especially since we're already using it, I see no particular reason to switch 
to /etc/brltty.d, and I'm not particularly interested in supporting more than 
one way.

I suppose that /etc/brltty.d could be a fallback directory.
