It's a popular convention to put user-specific config files in the HOME dir
prefixed by a dot (so they're hidden).  DMD doesn't recognize a dot-prefixed
dmd.conf file, and it would be nice if it did.  I've included a patch to check
for ".dmd.conf" in the HOME dir if "dmd.conf" doesn't exist.  I don't think
it's terribly important to do this secondary lookup in all locations because
the likelihood of having such a dot-prefixed file elsewhere is very small.

Yes please. This is an important "UI" issue.
