Huh? I added several searchpaths in start_tuxkart.cxx, so tuxkart should 
also run from other directories. I'm planing to do add some code that 
determines the directory of the executable (/proc/self...) so that it is 
even more smart than just adding . and TUXKART_DATADIR.

No, the loader is still a subclass of ssgLoaderOptions, so the plib 
related stuff is still valid and correct.

Are you talking about the GUI code?
