I agree with you. I certainly was too quick making some changes in
./configure (for config.tcl generation) and comiting the change that got
rid of "@SHAREDIR@" in config.tcl.conf (but nothing is really lost, thanks
to CVS).
But (forgive me) this a part on which I don't pay (enough) attention due to
some lack of time and my will to work on some other parts of Scid.
So please bring the solutions to me ;-)
