 I'd been wondering if we shouldn't add support for this as well,
 but since it was associated with the freedesktop.org (GUI)
 project, I wasn't sure it was applicable to Mutt.

 I looked into what policy Debian and Fedora have, and Debian does
 encourage all upstream software to adopt the XDG [1].

 Debian/Ubuntu has a libxdg-basedir package that is much more
 involved, and perhaps overkill (the attached patch is very
 simple).

 So I think this patch should be applied.
