Tom, unless I've misunderstood what you need, why not use the
specialFolderPath("support") path? These are paths that can be written to by an
application on both platforms. It's easy to see what the path actually is, so
you can tell the low level application. I'm using this approach for somewhere
to put a data stack (a stack that can be saved at runtime) on a two-platform
app and it works for me.
