Then the removal already worked ;)

I generally have no problem with that. Just tends to get a
bit "ip-like" ;)

IMHO it makes sense for the releases to set all files to
this revision as it makes it very easy to check out a
specific version

Ok. So we'll live with shelling out till someone has a
better idea :) Consider that done. Realised in my internal
version, currently in testing for compatiblity with cmail.

In a way.

"Widely" depends. SchemingMind and some others do, there
seems ot be some ChessBase revision/version/patch to add it
to CB9. From the stuff itself I consider it important and it
solves some problems one has with cmail.

I'll check. Hopefully it is as easy as in Perl.

Don't look into it, I've already done it in my internal
version of scid. I'm currently testing it and I'll check it
into the cvs as soon as I've removed the principle bugs (if
any; it's built upon my XFCC-support for xboard that works
pretty well). You just might prefer all in native TCL, so
I'd have to recode two small helpers. Hope that this is as
easy in TCL as it is in Perl. (About 50 lines of perl each.)

I would appreciate though if we could generate a
"Play"-Menue (call it whatever). The Tools menue gets a bit
long and IMHO also some restructuring would do it some good.
"Start First/Second Engine" e.g. IMHO does not to have such
a prominent place as one uses the hotkey anyway. Probably on
CE. But I think all Training functions should go to some
"Play" menue, I could add Correspondence Chess there which
involves some items.
