And if you're using several such libs, each with its own idea
about how to do things, then each lib should stick to what its
purpose is, or you'll get a headache sorting things out between
them. And most such things ought to be off by default if it
makes sense for them to be.
Still, it's a game (okay, graphics/input/sound) library, not
an operating system. Let it deal with what it needs, not the
rest (redoing the wheel, etc).

That said, I still think it's a good idea to have this platform
canonical path type thing, just kept simple, because lots of
games will need to save files, or load settings.
