Dotfiles paths

By default tuckr will use your $HOME to symlink things and your dotfiles have to be on the standard config directory for your platform. This is generally the most desirable behavior. But if you don't like this and/or need to use other directories, you can set the TUCKR_HOME and TUCKR_TARGET environment variables to override the default behavior.

• TUCKR_HOME: parent directory for your dotfiles. It assumes that your dotfiles directory is named as dotfiles.
• TUCKR_TARGET: the base directory from which all dotfiles will be deployed (with the exception of root and environment variable paths). By default this is $HOME on UNIX-like systems and %USERPROFILE% on Windows.

Another use case for overriding these is if you're managing dotfiles for many users, you can then set these variables to point to those users' directories.
