Yeah, that's exactly where I'm loosing you. So far I've seen two ideas
of live data dir:
* the one I proposed, using a data dir available as a resource in
   the classpath. It's always there, but you may not have the external
   data stores to connect to
* the one you propose, the release config, which again is always
   there (if you check out from the root at least)

It seems to me the isAvailable method should be coded against the
availability of datastores, not against the availability of data dirs.
What am I missing?
