For OSX, I have no idea..
Application-specific settings are in the App bundle (a bundle is just a
directory containing executables and resources, which the user
manipulates as a single entity)
System settings are in /Library/Application Support/"company name"/
(System-wide allegro settings could go here)
User-settings are in ~/Library/Application Support/"app name" or
sometimes in ~/Library/"app name"
There's also the netinfo database which is a bit like an XML-based
Windows registry, but I suggest we don't go there!
For Linux I did have a link for the Filesystems Hierarchy Standard
which was IIRC part of the Linux standards base project, but I lost it.
That explained where everything should go. I learnt there that
/usr/share was only supposed to contain processor-independent stuff
(i.e. not binaries) as it might be shared cross-platform as an NFS
mount.
