the texmf directory in your Library has fairly strict rules, so it  
isn't a matter of choice. '...' indicates "that directory or any sub- 
directory thereof".

bst -> texmf/bibtex/bst...
bib -> texmf/bibtex/bib...
sty -> texmf/tex/latex...
cfg probably in texmf/tex/latex... as well
documentation -> texmf/doc/latex...
