Provide config to set path of database file

[theldoria]

I want to be able to put the gourmet database into a specific folder.

This is required in order to:

1. share my database across several systems and
2. put the database under version control

I know this isn't a programming solution but as a work around I've moved the DB file to a dropbox folder then created a symlink in the default location. Simple to do in Linux and on windows you can use an elevated command prompt with mklink.

There is a commandline switch to do it but the trouble is its not convenient to bring to the "frozen" windows executable

It would be nice to be able to choose the location of the DB file. I have a NAS on my LAN that has NFS shares, which would make it convenient to share across several computers/users.
