[Cuis-dev] [Ann] First sketch of Cuis 6.1 release - Please REVIEW and TEST!

[Ezequiel Birman]

Tested on Linux and also with a Docker container. All good.

What I'm missing from the current way of handling Cuis installs, is the
possibility to easily set a default image and startup/configuration script
directories probably along the lines of the XDG Base directory specification
<https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html>
and the equivalent for Mac.

Btw, lately I became fond of https://asdf-vm.com/ for managing multiple
runtime versions in general, I didn't give it much thought but maybe it
could also be an alternative way to install Cuis.
