Nice, is that something you'll make available to the general public?
Desktop tool or web based?

We´d also like to be able to change the preset

There are three supported ways, enviroment variable, java system variable,
and web.xml.

When GeoServer starts that's all that we can rely upon I fear.
If you want to include  a custom data directory you can also just stick it
into
WEB-INF/data and not set the data dir at all
