Would it be possible to implement that feature, i.e. define a custom 
$PDDATADIR environment variable to place the data anywhere in my $HOME 
directory? I'm in the weird situation of running pandoc on cygwin on 
windows, and it would be easier to add something to bashrc to tell pandoc 
where to look for templates and csl styles and forget omit the --data-dir 
option, unless I require it.

Cheers,

Luis.
