In some small commandline-JDBC-tool I once wrote for everyday work
(maybe I should put it on sourceforge) I stored user specific settings
(like history, used drivers and connections) in a directory
$HOME/.henplus/, similar like the $HOME/.squirrel-sql/. However, if there
is an directory .henplus/ in the directory the tool is started in, then
this directory is used; so I created a empty .henplus in the projects'
directory and had my project specific settings there.

But maybe this kind of handling user specific settings is only viable for
commandline tools as they are usually invoked on -- the commandline.
Graphical tools may be started from some icon somewhere, and this allows
less control where the process is started in. But at least this could be
an idea considered as well.

My sourcefoge user name is 'hzeller', just in case you want to add it to
