Or possible have your application check for a file in the users home, and if not there, create the pref files there...as a user though, I would much rather see you use /Library/Application Support....

Choose your flavor:
- just don't do it if you are installing your application in
/Applications.
. If you are installing your application in /Application, why not
install the support files in /Library/Application Support.
. If you still go that way, maybe the easiest solution is to have 2
packages. One which installs the application and that requires
Admin/Root privileges. One which does not require privileges, search
the archive for some tip on how to do this. Eventually the first
package could "install" the raw package in /Users/Shared so that any
user can access it if needed.
- if you are installing your applications in $HOME/Applications, search
the archive for the tip explaining showing how to install stuff in
$/HOME without using the relocatable attribute.
