I don't agree that this is the hard work, IMO H.G. Mullers proposal is quite appropriate for a solution of auto-installing engines. The GUI has to do the work anyway, because the user of this GUI might interact with the auto-installation process, only the GUI can provide this feature. I don't see a high effort to integrate H.G. Mullers proposal into Scidb.

Tcl provides the multi-platform requirements 2. In this way the auto-installation process can interact with the user.
