 Prior to 0.22, there was an option for a screenshot directory per system
 type. As of 0.22, there is a single setting for ALL games for the dir
 where screenshots, fanart, and boxart are stored.

 IMHO, dumping all the screenshots for all systems in the same directory is
 BAD!

 Suppose you have game "foo" for 8-bit SystemX, 16-bit SystemY, and 64-bit
 SystemZ... foo.png for each system should be different.

 At least for screenshots, I would like a unique dir setting per emulator
 back.

 If we want to stick with keeping the per emulator system config screens
 simple, my proposed solution is to have a single directory setting for
 mythgame metadata, and then to have each system look under
 $PATH/TO/MYTHGAME_METADATA/$SYSTEMNAME/$DIR where $SYSTEMNAME is the name
 of the game player as entered by user, and $DIR is screenshots, fanart,
 and boxart
