 Using files in the data dir
-----------------------------

Finding the data stuff isn't difficult, use a replacement:

::

 <file name="named_colors.txt" role="data"/>
 <file name="filethatusesit.php" role="php>
  <replace from="@data-dir@" to="data_dir" type="pear-config"/>
 </file>

and in filethatusesit.php:

::

 <?php
 // ...
 $namedcolorslocation = '@data-dir@/named_colors.txt';
 $fp = fopen($namedcolorslocation);

Note that this does not work if using Horde's create_symlinks.php to install PEAR packages.
