Read config file from current directory for portable Windows installation

[dandv]

On Windows, the config file is currently read from locations outside where youtube-dl.exe resides.

I think that's normal, why do you need it? You can install youtube-dl.exe everywhere in you %PATH%, I wouldn't expect to load config files from it.

I wouldn't be against adding an option for loading a config file from the current directory (as an option).

A lot of Windows tools read the configuration file from the directory they reside in, and that's a very useful feature, for the same reason portableapps.com exists: to be able to plug in a USB drive with your collection of utilities, and have them configured and ready to go.

A useful extension of this might be to load the config file from a specified directory, rather than just the current directory. So perhaps something like --config-file-dir=/path/to/config.

You can use a symbolic link.
