Comment 15 for bug 1630676

Hi Holger,

OSX has "HOME" env variable as well. However, it's also common to use
~/Library/Application Support/TheAppName/ as a folder for app-specific
stuff. For example, Kicad is supposed to look in ~/Library/Application
Support/kicad/scripting/plugins/ for python footprint wizards (but
some other bug make it not see it currently).

Perhaps it makes sense to use ${HOME}/.spiceinit for ngspice, since
that's how it works on other platforms.
