On a related note: In 10.3 this option is removed in the open/save
dialogs, and instead you simply begin typing the path and a sheet
drops down. It took me a while to discover this.

This is a far better solution on OSX compared to /usr/ since it
actually is the way the OS is designed to be used. There's also a
directory called Application Support/ that is expressly for this type
of thing, and it is where Max, Adobe software, and other apps using
the plugin format put 3rd party items.
