That looks like the proper location, although we may end up removing
PROGRAM_PATH from the list.

Do you see any value of PROGRAM_PATH for iPhone, if you have
RESOURCE_PATH (bundled, read-only app data location)?

Is this writable? It looks like you are using "[mainBundle
resourcePath];", which seems more like RESOURCES_PATH (my patch will
add that), which contains data that is bundled with the program.

Both USER_DATA and USER_SETTINGS need to be writable.

So when I commit the new path stuff, I think I need to update your
recent changes so that USER_DATA is called RESOURCES, and then alias
the writable directories of USER_DATA and USER_SETTINGS and
USER_DOCUMENTS (new) to the same thing (Documents). Make sense?

Note that SYSTEM_DATA/SYSTEM_SETTINGS will be removed on all platforms.
