[Mono-dev] Environment.GetFolderPath() behaviour inconsistent with .NET

[expeBITion]

Bug 599476 has gone almost a year without any action.

There four related problems:

   * Microsoft Silverlight on OS X implements MyDocuments as 
$HOME/Documents but Mono implements the same as $HOME (detailed by Jacob 
Page in Bug 597907)
   * Mono does not provide a way to retrieve $HOME/Documents
   * the Microsoft documentation states that MyDocuments is the "My 
Documents folder", which aligns much better with $HOME/Documents than 
with $HOME
   * Mono returns different results for Personal on OS X vs. MonoTouch, 
which seems counter-intuitive (see Bug 537947)

The solution to all four of these issues is to point MyDocuments to 
$HOME/Documents and Personal to $HOME.  This change would not break 
existing code which relies on Personal and is consistent with 
"System.Environment.SpecialFolder Enumeration" which, for MyDocuments, 
states, "Documentation for this section has not yet been entered".
