If you have xboard compatible engines they usually need some
config file and most of them require this file sitting in
the same dir as the engine. Additionally, many require their
own books and stuff and even generate a bunch of files.
Things might get cluttered up a bit if you mvoe everything
in one dir. And some conf-files even share the name but
being totally different otherwise. (Whoever invented .bin
for books eg...)

Your code does not touch engine config if engines are
already configured I guess? This would be vitally important.
At least to have some way to switch this off.
