Maybe I've misunderstood or maybe we need to look at this again. There
is an equivalent to /usr/share, it's /Library/ (and specifically,
/Library/Application Support/) This is for system wide _settings_ for
applications. Resources like graphics and sound should go in the
application bundle and that's what SYSTEM_DATA is returning. For
ex_path, it wasn't in a bundle, so OS X returned the exe's directory
instead.
Do we need to make a distinction between a system-wide settings
location and an applications resource location (which would be under
/usr/share on Linux in both cases)
