There are a number of resources in the data/ directory that are needed by some 
drivers. If you know exactly which drivers you are going to use, and you know 
they don't need resources in data/, then you might skip it.

The few .wkt files may be used by the ECW driver or importing State Plane 
definitions from ESRI (can be triggered when reading some GeoTIFF files coming 
from ESRI software)
