If you come up with a good solution, please ping us at the design
stage. I really think that the package support code (ie, XEmacs
itself) should provide a reasonably good service of this kind.
I assume you know about (and are probably already using) the
locate-data-file facility. But IIRC that takes a _directory_ to
start the search, or maybe a path, and so it doesn't provide a
standard interface.
