Summary: Hardcoded path for theme files

Initial Comment:
Since 0.9.0, scummvm comes with a number of data files 
(modern.ini, modern.zip) that it has to be able to find.
On most linux systems, the default place to put such
files is $prefix/share/scummvm.

I'd like to add this directory to the standard search 
path for themes, and was thinking of the following:

* add 'datadir' to configure similar to the current
'mandir'/'bindir'.
(So with a --datadir switch, defaulting to /usr/share.)

* add -DDATA_PATH=\"$_datadir/scummvm\" to the compiler 
flags, or maybe put it in config.h. 

* let ThemeNew.cpp call addDefaultDirectory(DATA_PATH) if
DATA_PATH is defined.

The attached patch implements this, and I have in fact
added this to the Fedora Core packages for 0.9.0.

Any comments/suggestions? Would this be useful for other
platforms as well? If so, please add a reply about which
directory your platform could use.
