Comment(by kyngchaos):

 What about doing this for one of the 1.x releases, maybe 1.6?

 Also, add a case for OS X:

 {{{
 #elif defined Q_WS_MAC
     return QDir::homePath() + QString( "/Library/Application
 Support/QGIS/" );
 }}}

 I'm not sure if there is a variable for that path fragment or full path
 like for Windows, but as far as I know it's hardwired in the system as a
 standard folder as is never localized.

 Note also that there is now a runtime switch to set the settings dir,
 r13951, so this patch will have to be changed a bit to fit in with that.
