The hard-coding of these paths is done in the SConscript. Instead we should
use QDesktopServices::storageLocation(QDesktopServices::DataLocation) to
get the correct path. On OS X this gives "Library/Application
Support/Mixxx" which is what we currently use. I don't know what it returns
on Windows, but I hope it is C:\Users\<user>\Local Settings\Application
Data\Mixxx, except localized.
