Gererally good :)
I did not check but does our build for Toga not include proper renaming
of the executable? (Ie. fruit != toga...) This is an old bug in Toga's
Makefile, I usually take care of this by some mv in my private setup. I
think, Scid should do this as well.

As also Mikhail pointed out and as LFS states:
/usr/local/bin
/usr/bin
/usr/local/games
/usr/games
should be added, as properly installed engines have to live in one of
those and not in $::scidShareDir.
Besides: shouldn't $::scidShareDir be "$::scidShareDir/engines" anyway,
even if this form of paths is used? Wouldn't that be the meaning of
/usr/local/share/scid/engines.
BTW: I'm not sure about crafty. This one was droped out of Scids
distribution recently. Probably one should leave it here as well?

Hm, I think Phalanx-pg has to be found, there seems no way around and I
fear it as to come with Scid, as all tries to get Pascals patches into
the real phalanx failed (no author, no contact, no whatever :( Scidlet
is surely to be found as well.
As for Toga I'd tell the user about the problem, and I'd come back to my
former question here:
However, how dependent is the code on the existence of Toga? Could it be
"any other UCI engine"? If so, could one then just check if any UCI
engine is configured once Toga is needed and if not point the user to do
so once Toga is required?
I just know that Toga is used as a coach engine, but if this feature
does not depend on something only Toga offers, maybe that would be the
way to go? Similar for serious game. If an UCI engine is configured,
everything is fine, if not point the user to configure one?
