As I recall, most of the share files are either examples,
docs, or supplemental files for grabbers (and the
supplemental files default to being pulled from the
internet(*) since local copies are possibly no longer
current, although setting an environmental variable
will let you use the local copy if installed).

So in practice I suspect they are not needed to
actually run, but I admit to have not actually
looked closely at all those files and their uses.




(*) I think from a user contributed set of servers.
I wonder if the default location should not be
updated to use the projects github code repo
by default, but that is a different issue.
