While possibly reasonable for one directory, as soon as you make this 
capability, somebody is going to want multiple directories, or directories + 
files, or....

I guess the point I'm trying to make is that there is already a method in 
place to handle getting extra files/dirs into the tree, and there is even 
more value to having them in package form to be installed on the system as 
well.  I really don't want to support N+ convenience methods for doing the 
same thing as that's code duplication and easy places for bugs to popup, and 
more places to have to change things in the future.
