User-defined macros for a specific game did not save if the game used the CONTROL_FREAK_SKIN setting.

This issue has been resolved.
Descriptive Problem Summary:
When you have control_freak set to control_freak=CONTROL_FREAK_SKIN, but still have macros enabled, macros do not save even though macros are saved in a different folder. Probably CONTROL_FREAK_SKIN completely blocks the creation of the ../BYOND/skins/author/hub/ folder.
Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:
1. Create a hub
2. create environment for that hub
3. add "client.control_freak=CONTROL_FREAK_SKIN" to an environment
4. run game
5. apply macros in-game, only to that game.
6. close macros prompt
7. open macros prompt
8. cry as your macros have poofed
Code Snippet (if applicable) to Reproduce Problem:
control_freak=CONTROL_FREAK_SKIN


Expected Results:
The macros to be saved in ../BYOND/skins/author/hub/macros.dmf
Actual Results:
Nothing it saved.
Does the problem occur:
Every time? Or how often? Every time.
In other games? Yes.
In other user accounts? Yes.
On other computers? Yes.

When does the problem NOT occur?
When skins are not disabled via control_freak
Did the problem NOT occur in any earlier versions? If so, what was the last version that worked?
Too lazy to check.
Workarounds:
Apply them as global macros?
