If I would like to implement it myself - how to obtain system configuration directory? QSettings doesn't support reading configuration from qbs/*.conf. In Qt5 I can just use QStandardPaths to find all $base/qbs/*.conf files, but Qt4 has no such way (QDesktopServices had no config-path support).

Should multi-files configuration reading be implemented as special case for Unix-like host systems (with xdg-compatible behaviour)?
