App.config API changes by fdrake for 2.7 have made this patch and feature request effectively moot.  I'd reject it myself, but the collector isn't that flexible.

Hard coded paths bug me and for one reason or another I wanted to move my Data.fs elsewhere, I don't think this should cause problems, wfm anyway. In Globals.py

-data_dir = os.path.join(INSTANCE_HOME, 'var')
+data_dir = os.path.join(INSTANCE_HOME, os.environ.get('DATA_HOME', 'var'))

Now the DATA_HOME environment variable lets one shuffle stuff around.
