In case of such research programs, where ease of installability is
usually more important than performance, I just include the data files
into the program. For example, in 
http://darcs.nomeata.de/sem_syn/
the JQuery library and the file BUtils.hs are turned into Haskell string
literals using http://github.com/jgm/hsb2hs

This way, the resulting binary is really stand-alone and can be just
moved to the appropriate place on the web server.

Greetings,
Joachim
