/**
   <unit>
   <heading>Path Utility Functions</heading>
   <p>
   Path utilities provides functions to dynamically discover paths
   for the platform the application is running on.
   This avoids the need for hard coding paths, making porting easier
   and also allowing for places to change without breaking
   applications.
   (why do this? Well imagine we're running GNUstep 1 and the new
   wonderful GNUstep 2 becomes available but we're not sure of it
   yet. You could install /GNUstep/System2/ and have applications
   use which ever System you wanted at the time...)
   </p>
   <p>
   On unix systems, the paths are initialised by reading a configuration
   file. Something like "/etc/GNUstep/GNUstep.conf". This provides the basic
   information required by the library to establish all locations required.
   </p>
   <p>
   On windows, the paths may also (as a fallback) be initialised by
   reading information from the windows registry.
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\GNU\GNUstep contains the machine wide
   definititions for system paths.
   </p>
   <p>
   See <REF "filesystem.pdf">GNUstep File System Heirarchy</REF> document
   for more information and detailed descriptions.</p>
   </unit>
