I'm suggesting that if your package needs to have a reliable location for 
the data, then it should include it with the package.  This is orthogonal 
to whether you *also* install the headers in a user-specified 
location.  I'm just saying that if you have the data in your package, you 
no longer have to care where the user may have *also* put it.
