Huh? You have to set --fg-root/FG_ROOT either way (unless the data
are under the hard-coded default directory, of course). So the
optional data/ dir doesn't really buy you anything. It's just a
confusion factor, which should at most be an Easter Egg and better
not be mentioned anywhere. No software (like fgrun) should rely
on it or use it as default.
