When it is said they should go to FG_ROOT, it means that they should go in data/
In fact, they are put in data/Models/fgfsdb/ but Models/fgfsdb is already in the
tar.

They are shared, and the path relative to $FG_ROOT is stored in the .stg file,
so they can't be moved, and if they happened to be overwritten, it would be
because someone commit them in CVS.
