OK. So the location of sheets is taken from one of two places:
1) If the environment variable is set, then it is used
2) else a path relative to the compile-time variable DATADIR is used.

In that case, some code in object/SISSI is broken. For example,
sissi_object_create() in SISSI/sissi_object.c ... it directly calls
dia_get_data_directory() when loading a sheet, without checking the
environment variable. The correct fix is to extract the code in
lib/sheet.c into a new function called dia_get_sheets_directory(),
which can be used wherever the name of the sheets directory is
required.
