Crafty will look for them, by default, in a sub-directory named "TB" in the
directory where you run things.  But you still need the command "egtb" in the
crafty.rc file to tell it to look.  If you put 'em somewhere other than in ./TB,
then you need to add the tbpath= to your crafty.rc and point it at the path to
use to find the tablebase files.

For humans, you just need book.bin and books.bin.  If you are going to play
computer opponents using crafty, you should also get bookc.bin
