I'm not sure about this. KDocTools relies on QStandardPaths to find resources
in common paths; our Windows developers hacked QStandardPaths.

You can take a look in the discussion of the RR I mentioned many times:
https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/115752/
which points to the discussion in
https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/115210/


Again, the directory set which should be considered by QStandardPaths requires
input from MacOSX developers. I suspect that KDocTools is the first place
where this issue is visible, but it will popup elsewhere.
