Unix: ~/.cache/<AppName>/log # or under $XDG_CACHE_HOME if defined
Win XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\<AppAuthor>\<AppName>\Logs
Vista: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\<AppAuthor>\<AppName>\Logs
On Windows the only suggestion in the MSDN docs is that local settings
go in the `CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA` directory. (Note: I'm interested in
examples of what some windows apps use for a logs dir.)
OPINION: This function appends "Logs" to the `CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA`
value for Windows and appends "log" to the user cache dir for Unix.
This can be disabled with the `opinion=False` option.
