Looking at the code needed to do this special casing, we might as well
just restore the <root>/data dir and include that in the end directly.

Contrib checks would then just put their data files in:
   <root>/data/contrib/X/...

As an added bonus, the "special casing" does not need any additional
testing because all the "standard" data files would be loaded from there
as well.  Yay!
