V4MD application deployment

Hello,
I read from the V4MD reference that Vcomponents folder content should be
copied in the application folder.
This is not fine because I always tried to keep the application folder as
clean as possible (from the user's perspective) by moving all unnecessary
files in a data folder. This leave the application folder with
- the application executable
- the xtras folder
- a data folder where all application stuff is stored (and maybe with more
subfolders)
And now I have to copy a bunch of files in that folder (which can also be
the CD-rom root) ? The end user will be confused and won't know which file
to run.
So, this is a request for a slight modification in the way V4MD xtra finds
Vcomponents it needs. Could the xtra also look for the vresources in the
folder from which the xtra is loaded ? If it is not possible to know the
xtra path, then at least check the xtras folder in the application.
By the way, Director finds xtras files in the xtras folder, but it also runs
through all subfolders from there.
Thanks a lot.
