Oops, I guess the documentation is out of date. For a couple of verisons now, Scid has understood "protover" and sends "protover 2" when an engine starts. So any engine that prints a line starting with "Crafty" OR knows how to respond to "protover 2" with "feature ..." lines should work fine in analysis mode in Scid.
