Details:
I think weechat should follow the xdg specifications for config files [0],
i.e. look for config files in the following locations, in that order:
1. $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/weechat (if XDG_CONFIG_HOME is set)
2. $HOME/.config/weechat
3. $HOME/.weechat (for backward compatibility)
If none of the above exist, the new config folder should be created in:
1. $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/weechat (if XDG_CONFIG_HOME is set)
2. $HOME/.config/weechat
and not in $HOME/.weechat
To go one step further, plugins (lua, perl, etc folders) should probably be
installed to:
1. $XDG_DATA_HOME/weechat (if XDG_DATA_HOME is set)
2. $HOME/.local/share/weechat
