Currently, gemini installs all data files to /usr/share/data/gemini. We need to adjust this because many users won't have admin priveleges. We need to think about how best to do this. Perhaps we could just store a file in the package installation directory that solely stores the path of the data installation directory in a file. When gemini needs to look for annotation files, it will query this file, grab the path and be on its merry way.

This is solved with commit c57dbc547. Added a gemini.conf file to the installation data directory that stores the location that the user chose to install the annotation files. This config. file is polled at runtime to figure out where to grab the annotation files.

This could also serve as a framework for users to drop in their own annotation files for customized analyses. Need to reflect on this for awhile.
