Close :-)
One plugin with support for the different platforms (see locale plugin 
for a similar solution).

The plugin could support calls like primTempDirectory, 
primSystemFontFolder(s), primUserDirectory etc. or other platform 
specific calls (can't think of one right now ;-) ).

As I said, we are doing this in Sophie with FFI in Files-Locations, 
making Sophie a "good citizen" on each platform instead of using "C:\My 
Squeak" or the VM/image directory.
