Hi Norbert, Karl,
since this is a C program, the usual procedure is to have the sources in a
subdirectory of Build/source/texk/ or Build/source/utils/. In this case it
should probably be texk because kpathsea may be required to locate the
songidx/*.can files used at runtime. Before doing anything in that
direction I'd like to get an opinion from Karl.
Regards
Peter
