Bug Description

I read in some documentation that Quickly supported ~/.quickly/templates for templates, however with Quickly 0.4.2 this does not appear to be the case. It only recognizes ~/quickly-templates. Because I don't like to pollute my $HOME, and because I assume that the choice of ~/quickly-templates (and not ~/.quickly/templates) is intentional, Quickly should really recognize an environment variable to support user defined template directories.

I have a branch that adds $QUICKLY_TEMPLATES for specifying this. While the name is up for debate, I specifically chose not to use $QUICKLY because I want the envar to accept a list of paths, as in $PATH. But ':' is already used as a delimiter for options in $QUICKLY, thus a different envar.

As an example:

% quickly --version
Quickly 0.4.2
  Python interpreter: /usr/bin/python 2.6.5
  Python standard library: /usr/lib/python2.6

  Quickly used library: /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/quickly
  Quickly data path: /usr/share/quickly
  Quickly detected template directories:
          /usr/share/quickly/templates/

% mkdir /tmp/blah
% mkdir -p ~/.quickly/templates
% quickly --version
