That's no problem. The libraries can be installed with the scsh layout. 
The Orion script find's Orion's scm files (in $prefix/share/orion-0.2) 
itself, so SCSH_LIB_DIRS doesn't need to point to Orion's files, it only 
needs to point to the libraries Orion uses.

Hm, don't know. Which would be logical? The libraries are installed in 
$prefix/0.6/scx-0.2 for example. So $prefix/bin or $prefix/0.6/bin or 
$prefix/0.6/scx-0.2/bin ?? But Michel should decide about this.

No problem.
