// For example, on a Unix or Unix-like system such as Linux, with a user "joeblow" who has a home-directory at
// "/home/joeblow", RootDir might return "/home/joeblow/public_root".
//
// This can be overridden using the "PUBLIC_ROOT" environment variable.
// For example:
//
// PUBLIC_ROOT=/path/to/public_root
//
// Example usage:
//
// rootDir, err := maymoon.RootDir()
// if nil != err {
// return err
// }
//
// fmt.Printf("The maymoon root-dir is at %q \n", rootDir)
