You don't need to have engines in your path. Either they are configured with
a fully qualified path like
/opt/whatever/engines/crafty.21-6/crafty
Or made relative to Scid's directory with a leading ./ like
./engines/crafty.21-6/crafty

Yes, I agree. But it took me some time to get something at least working on
various platforms.
I am opened to changes, but beware of some impact on code.
