Shouldn't the location of the initial data be in the parameter file?
The location of the initial data is system-dependent, while the parameter file should not.
Either this, or it should be compiled into the executable (similar to the location of a shared library).
It should be possible to set that location at start time. The current mechanism does that: it instructs Cactus to look at an environment variable. For most cases it would work to compile this in, but that would mean to recompile to change just this, where a recompilation isn't strictly necessary and could be avoided.
