That's why Niko said Library/, not /Library/
Not to be pedantic, but Library/ is a relative path, not an absolute,
and though it can mean everything, especially
/Library/
or
~/Library/
or
/System/Library/
...
The Mac OS has a clever mechnism for searching for resources: first is
searches in ~/Library, then it searches in /Library and then it
searches in /System/Library. So you can have local and global
preferences (or system extensions or whatever resource) and you can
"overload" the System without modifying anything in /System, so system
updates are very unproblematic (normally everybody has an identical
/System folder) etc.
It is always the better solution to make use of system calls for
already existing concepts than to build own concepts.

Mani
