Bug#693244: etw: doesn't save and load important configurations

[Markus Koschany]

Package: etw
Version: 3.6+svn140-3
Severity: serious

I intend to adopt etw and while i was preparing a new version for it i
discovered that the configuration can't be saved and loaded which
makes it impossible to preserve important aspects of the game like
keyboard, video or sound configuration permanently. 

Hence i think this bug should be fixed for wheezy because it impairs
the overall usability of etw. 

I'll attach a patch today which will enable saving and loading of the configuration
from the user's home directory. The same patch will also restore the
ability to save and view replays of matches by also saving them to
$HOME/.etw.  

Note: Viewing a replay which was recorded in arcade mode leads to a
segfault. Other game modes seem to work as intended. I don't think
that the segfaults are related to the patch. Most likely one of the
bugs is responsible which is already mentioned in /usr/share/doc/etw/.
