Shouldn't the default be a configurable path?  I'm thinking something  
that would point to the .grass folder, especially if we start using it  
for preferences and configuration info.  Maybe GRASS_USER, or someone  
has a better suggestion?

This will let platform-specific startups set this and the user doesn't  
have to figure out where it is to specify it when installing an addon.

Theory of the Universe

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly  
what the universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly  
disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarrely  
inexplicable.  There is another theory which states that this has  
already happened.
