#52232: youtube-dl should use ${prefix}/etc for its global config file
-------------------------+--------------------------------

 Priority:  Normal       |  Milestone:
Component:  ports        |    Version:
 Keywords:               |       Port:  youtube-dl
-------------------------+--------------------------------
 Currently youtube-dl tries to find a global config file via the
 XDG_CONFIG_DIR env. variable, falling back to the user's HOME if that
 variable isn't set.
 There may be another fallback to /etc if one has to believe the README.

 Either way, the code should check /etc/local/etc first, IMO.

 A youtube-dl.conf file could be installed that sets the preferred
 downloader to ffmpeg instead of the default avconv (which MacPorts doesn't
 provide but which *might* be on the user's path).
