  If all you need the SD for is adding extra activities, there might be an
  easier way: modify Sugar to add an extra lookup path for activities.

  The system directory for activities is hard-coded by configure into the
  variable "activities_path" of src/jarabe/config.py. In the rpm package
  of Sugar, this ends up in

   /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/jarabe/config.py

  If you're feeling a little braver, you could change bundleregistry.py to
  support a colon-separated list of paths:

  --- a/src/jarabe/model/bundleregistry.py
  +++ b/src/jarabe/model/bundleregistry.py
  @@ -61,7 +61,7 @@ class BundleRegistry(gobject.GObject):
           self._gio_monitors = []
   
           user_path = env.get_user_activities_path()
  -        for activity_dir in [user_path, config.activities_path]:
  +        for activity_dir in [user_path, config.activities_path.split(':')]:
               self._scan_directory(activity_dir)
               directory = gio.File(activity_dir)
               monitor = directory.monitor_directory()

  Proper support for activities on removable media would involve finding
  the callback where Sugar handles hotplug events for storage media and,
  if the filesystem contains a directory called Activities, add it
  dynamically to BundleRegistry.
