I would take a lead from packages such as gimp which at runtime
	install files as needed. You'll probably need to modify the
	package to install the default set of files under
	/usr/pkg/share/pkgname/.. or similar (assuming they are arch
	independent) and maybe add a shell wrapper to automatically
	copy across into the current user's homedir if needed...
