Hm, yes, the name should be "char const *name" :P
Also, the returned path would probably be returned via an allocated
"char **path", or with the "char *path, int len" method.
The main point though is, these pathes would be quieried under OSX and
Windows by system specific functions.
A quick glance at MSDN suggests, there's a simliar function already in
Windows: SHGetSpecialFolderPath
Pathes would maybe translate like:
AL_USER_SETTINGS_PATH - CSIDL_PERSONAL_APPDATA
AL_GLOBAL_SETTINGS_PATH - CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA
AL_DATA_PATH - installation path, does it need a registry entry?
