digitalmars.D.learn - get user config dir

Hi,
Does Phobos have a way to portably get the user's configuration directory?

As an example, GTK+ has this:

Thanks,
Nick

No, it doesn't. I use PhysFS[1]. It's probably overkill if that's 
all you need it for, but it gets the job done if you don't want 
to write roll your own.

Thanks for the info. I'll probably copy the gtkD one into my code then 
(not sure how to use PhysicsFS for that).
