I'm not sure about the appropriate path on osx.  Even on osx, the python
scripts only get installed when the python scripting build is enabled so
Adam must be building the python scripting on osx.

Looking at kicadplugins.i, it definitely will not find the system
install path for the plugin python scripts.  I'm not sure I want to mess
with it too much before the stable release.  The python scripting
support code could use some love.
