Just quick questions, is that Mac OSX location (~/Library/Application
Support/Sword) is mapped into env variable which is accesssible/able
to get the value from System.getProperties (java program) ? or it must
be hard coded ?

Another things, related to module install folder. Does all that
variable eg: $APPDATA, $ALLUSERPROFILE, etc are
accesible/retrievale/able to get the value from various programming
language used eg: c/c++, java, xxx ? I do not know about other
programming language, but in java, some env variable are exposed
through System.getProperties().

Because if that variable is not exposed in the your favorite language,
how do you know the location without hard coded ? Hard coded path can
be problematic if the admin change the mapping from default location
to custom path eg: on network drive.
