Locate global config directory on Windows

Locate global configuration directory following standard on Windows

Saving cfg files in a global location reduces future need for copying old configuration to updated installation. The location is different for different versions of Windows. To locate the one for your Windows version:

  1. go to C:\python27\Lib\site-packages\leginon
  2. run configcheck.py

The script gives the three search directories of the cfg files and the loaded file if present. Note the first search directory that with a name most likely start with C:\Programs and ends with \myami. This is the global configuration directory we will use.
