Comment (by Pete):
I just noticed another stupid... Not anyone's fault - except History's
(and maybe an unknown Be engineer).
B_SYNTH_DIRECTORY is not one of those in FindDirectory.h. It is an
''equate'' in MidiDefs.h. In BeOS it was equated to B_BEOS_ETC_DIRECTORY,
and in Haiku it had to be switched to B_SYSTEM_DATA_DIRECTORY. So
anything written "correctly" and compiled for BeOS won't run in Haiku
anyway (though probably will if recompiled. (I remember that I in fact
recompiled MidiSynth1.7, so not surprising it works!)
B_SYNTH_DIRECTORY doesn't even match the other definitions.
B_USER_SETTINGS refers to a ".../settings" directory and so on, but
B_SYNTH_DIRECTORY refers to the ''parent'', so you always have to insert
your own "/synth". I think this should also be deprecated strongly. It
should not be used in Haiku code.
