Editable global folder

How would I modify the bios.lua to add some seperate folders that are accessible by all computers? Computercraft 1.4 made it impossible to unzip to the mods folder, making it impractical to edit the rom folder for program development. Anyone know a way to do this?
Edit: Or would I have to fix it in Java? If so, what would I theoretically need to do?

it's not impossible to unzip the mod, you just have to rename the folder to be JUST ComputerCraft, not the full name with version number from the zip file.

I'm not sure of this, but putting files in mods/ComputerCraft/lua/rom (even without extracting the mod, just create the folders) works too. I'm not sure if it will use the bios from there or the zip (time to test!).

Ok, thanks a ton!
