The handling of the opening book is a source of confusion with this
package.

I just installed package crafty-books-medium.  It appears to have
installed the book into /var/lib/crafty.  In Karmic, the Ubuntu package
defaults the opening book to the current directory.  (This shows up
under strace.)   The search for tablebase files, however, defaults to
/usr/lib/crafty/TB so at first blush the book default appears broken and
inconsistent.

My book works when I run crafty as follows:

/usr/games/crafty bookpath=/var/lib/crafty

There is also an environment variable documented on the man page to
achieve this effect.

However, when run this way, it complains that my book can not be opening
for writing, so learning mode is disabled.  Perhaps this is why the
default was left at .

Logical, on some level, perhaps.  Friendly or predictable, not even
close.
