Platform-dependent profile folder location

[GoogleCodeExporter]

$HOME/.vacuum is foreign to Windows and Mac OS X environments. Following 
profile locations seem to be more reasonable:

Windows: "%APPDATA%\Vacuum IM"
Mac OS X: "$HOME/Library/Application\ Support/Vacuum\ IM"
Generic Unix: "$HOME/.vacuum"

Launch vacuum with option -h <path to app data>, in your case:
vacuum.exe -h "."

You can either edit the source code (not recommended, because later development 
will 
require you to do that after each svn up), or make a symbolic link to your 
folder.
Assuming you're on Windows, issue following command as administrator:

mklink /d r:\vacuum\profile\ %APPDATA%\VacuumIM

P.S. Why do you need this? All your settings, history, etc. will be gone on 
each reboot.
