Even better, why not keep them in the .app directory? That way they travel  
with the Application and never have to be seen at all. But, you ask, what  
about multiple users defaults, scores, and so on...

I'd much rather have:
	CoolApp.app/.jwishnie
	CoolApp.app/.bfink
	CoolApp.app/.escissorhands 

and so on than:

	~jwishnie/.coolapp
	~bfink/.coolapp
	~escissorhands/.coolapp
