Move "$HOME/.zotero" to "$HOME/.config/zotero"

Currently this ".zotero" directory clutters up my home directory. I want like to move this to ".config" or somehow configure Zotero to respect the XDG_CONFIG_HOME etc. environment variables. Is there someway to do this?

Not currently, but it may be possible in a future version. Firefox just added support for it.
