Hi,

I have checked how the others (Membase, CouchBase) are doing it and suggest the 
following disk layout:

Data Dir / Application Support Folder
=====================================

~/Library/Application Support/CouchDB/etc
        couchdb-server.ini

~/Library/Application Support/CouchDB/var/run/couchdb
        couch.uri

~/Library/Application Support/CouchDB/var/lib/couchdb
        views & dbs

Logs
====

~/Library/Logs
        couchdb-server.log


Is this ok?

- Hans

P.S. I have also found the incompatibility between OS X versions 10.6.8 - 
10.7.2 and the later ones. I guess we can serve
all with one binary
