Re: Methods to find special folders

Please let me explain on what I meant in my first e-mail about 
finding special folders:

Yes, that one was discussed in the OS X list too. But it has some 
serious problems as it takes far to less constants to give any 
meaningful results.

For example with this function it's not possible to get the 
"Preferences", the "Application Support", etc. directly but only by 
hardcoding that they "may be inside" the Library folder. Which of 
course isn't exactly the definition of portable.

So, is there something I overlooked?
