Why create this document?
There are a number of Mac OS X installers, each with it's own idea of where software and data should reside. Below is a guide to help developers and users figure out where their data is, and which installer they might have used.
If you are using one of these installers, or maybe a maintainer: Feel free to fill in missing information! Thanks.
