270	"Build executables that can be run ""in-place"""	waern		"It would be nice if Cabal could build executables that could be told where to get their data files (etc), instead of always hard-wiring them to the installation dirs. Perhaps an environmental variable could be used to specify where the data files are. This would enable us to run applications ""in-place"", i.e. from the source directory directly, which would be useful for test suites, for example.
