Nothing to say about OS X.

One day Windows might start to respect the "hidden dot" convention, but perhaps in the interim we could create a (Windows-hidden) ~/.private/? Assuming we could work out where to put it ;-)

Windows and Mac OS X have dedicated directories for application specific libraries. That is ~/Library on Mac and Application Data on Windows. The latter is i18n-ed and called "Anwendungsdaten" in German. Fortunately Windows sets an environment var to the application data directory.
