Hi Wayne,

I'm not sure now if that is where they should go.  I looked a little through 
past emails here and apparently things such as libraries, modules, etc are in 
subdirectories in ~/Library/Application Support/kicad

Another thing I noticed is that the function I found to make it easy to put the 
config files there was not in wx2.8, so I don't know if we want to use it.  The 
function is wxStandardPaths::UseAppInfo( wxStandardPaths::AppInfo_None );  and 
that allows me to use wxStandardPaths::GetUserDataDir() without wx putting the 
program name at the end of that path.

See the message I just sent to the list with an updated patch.

I'll see what I can do with the Cmake files.  I don't know cmake and don't do 
much shell scripting, so I'm not sure how to add the .config/kicad directory in 
there right now.

Thanks,
Moses
