data module [was Re: XKB configuration data and xkeyboard-config]

[Kevin E Martin]

After several discussions over the past few months, the consensus seems
to be that we need a module to hold data files.  We'll name it "data" as
that seems most appropriate/generic.  The idea is to separate data that
will be developed independently from the code that uses them or that are
used by multiple apps/libs.

The data currently proposed to be put into the module include:

 - pci.ids
 - rgb.txt
 - cursor images
 - XKB config data
 - bitmap images

Any others that should be added or ones that should be removed from the
list above?

I will create the data module shortly...

After the creation of the data module, we can implement this solution.
