+  The free kart racer. A development build announces its version as git, and
+  the data directory is accepted only when it holds the marker file
+  supertuxkart.<version>, here supertuxkart.git. It is
+  $SUPERTUXKART_DATADIR/data, else the first of ./data, ../data, ../../data
+  and the data directories next to the executable that holds the marker, else
+  the build-time install path. No marker stops the game with a fatal error.
+  The code's data directory holds the configuration, interface, shaders and
+  fonts. Karts, tracks, music, sounds, models and textures come from the
+  separate assets set, read from $SUPERTUXKART_ASSETS_DIR, ../../stk-assets
+  or ../../supertuxkart-assets relative to the data directory, or from the
+  same tree.

+  EmuELEC builds this revision without data. On first start its
+  run_supertuxkart.sh downloads the 1.4 tag of stk-code, keeps its data
+  directory under /storage/roms/ports/supertuxkart, unpacks the 1.4
+  stk-assets-mobile set into it, creates the supertuxkart.git marker the 1.4
+  tree lacks (it carries supertuxkart.1.4), and runs supertuxkart with
+  SUPERTUXKART_DATADIR set to that directory.
