My vote would be to make this copy operation occur on a separate make
target. For example, only if you type:
make installdata
or something like that. That way you avoid surprising the user,
especially since I expect most will not have write access to the
GEANT4 data directory. I can modify the configure script and the
install instructions to remind the user to do this (or ask someone
with appropriate access to do it).
Does this sound reasonable?
