I think the best is to install those files in share directory, along 
with the documentation, or have a tool to create them. As in mysql case, 
the tool is shipped with the mysql module package, but the database is 
not created automatically.

In a long term, since we have lot of modules, some not very used, we can 
split the main openser package and have kind of "openser-extra-modules". 
Modules like dbtext, flatstore, diversion, imc, options, mangler ... can 
be moved here.

Cheers,
Daniel
