-- Add an API to find the "pref path" ... this is the directory where an
-  app's configuration data is supposed to go...which is usually somewhere
-  under the user directory, but not always. As it is platform-dependent,
-  platform-version dependent and sometimes even user-dependent, this should be
-  handled by the library and not the app.
 - Archives formats provided by the implementation.
 - Write support for various archives. I haven't decided how to do this yet,
   but I'd like to.

 - Use __cdecl in physfs.h?
 - Look for FIXMEs (many marked with "!!!" in comments).
 - Find some way to relax or remove the security model for external tools.
-- OSX shouldn't use ~/.app for userdir.
 - fscanf and fprintf support in extras dir.
 - Why do we call it openArchive and dirClose?
 - Sanity check byte order at runtime.

+ * Get the "pref dir". This is meant to be where users can write personal
+ *  files (preferences and save games, etc) that are specific to your

+ *
+ * This function will decide the appropriate location in the native filesystem,
+ *  create the directory if necessary, and return a string in
+ *  platform-dependent notation, suitable for passing to PHYSFS_setWriteDir().
+ *
+ * On Windows, this might look like:
+ *  "C:\\Users\\bob\\AppData\\Roaming\\My Company\\My Program Name"
+ *
+ * On Linux, this might look like:
+ *  "/home/bob/.local/share/My Program Name"
+ *
+ * On Mac OS X, this might look like:
+ *  "/Users/bob/Library/Application Support/My Program Name"
+ *
+ * (etc.)
+ *
+ * You should probably use the pref dir for your write dir, and also put it
+ *  near the beginning of your search path. Older versions of PhysicsFS
+ *  offered only PHYSFS_getUserDir() and left you to figure out where the
+ *  files should go under that tree. This finds the correct location
+ *  for whatever platform, which not only changes between operating systems,
+ *  but also versions of the same operating system.
+ *
+ * You specify the name of your organization (if it's not a real organization,
+ *  your name or an Internet domain you own might do) and the name of your
+ *  application. These should be proper names.
+ *
+ * Both the (org) and (app) strings may become part of a directory name, so
+ *  please follow these rules:
+ *
+ *    - Try to use the same org string (including case-sensitivity) for
+ *      all your applications that use this function.
+ *    - Always use a unique app string for each one, and make sure it never
+ *      changes for an app once you've decided on it.
+ *    - Unicode characters are legal, as long as it's UTF-8 encoded, but...
+ *    - ...only use letters, numbers, and spaces. Avoid punctuation like
+ *      "Game Name 2: Bad Guy's Revenge!" ... "Game Name 2" is sufficient.
+ *
+ * The pointer returned by this function remains valid until you call this
+ *  function again, or call PHYSFS_deinit(). This is not necessarily a fast
+ *  call, though, so you should call this once at startup and copy the string
+ *  if you need it.
+ *
+ * You should assume the path returned by this function is the only safe
+ *  place to write files (and that PHYSFS_getUserDir() and PHYSFS_getBaseDir(),
+ *  while they might be writable, or even parents of the returned path, aren't
+ *  where you should be writing things).
+ *
+ *   \param org The name of your organization.
+ *   \param app The name of your application.
+ *  \return READ ONLY string of user dir in platform-dependent notation. NULL
+ *          if there's a problem (creating directory failed, etc).
