Rendering options for fonts

Optionally choose rendering options when loading fonts:

  • antialiasing: grayscale or subpixel
  • hinting: none, slight or full

The option grayscale with full hinting is specially interesting for crisp font rendering
without color artifacts.

Unix-like install directories

Use unix-like install directories for the executable and for the data directory.
The executable will be placed under $prefix/bin and the data folder will be
$prefix/share/lite-xl.

In addtion to the EXEDIR global variable an additional variable is exposed, DATADIR,
to point to the data directory.

The old behavior using the "data" directory can be still selected at compile time
using the "portable" option. The released Windows package will use the "data"
directory as before.

Configuration stored into the user's home directory

Now the Lite XL user's configuration will be stored in the user's home directory under
.config/lite-xl.
The home directory is determined using the "HOME" environment variable (USERPROFILE is used on Windows).

A new global variable USERDIR is exposed to point to the user's directory.
