BT has some compiled in which it should always find. By default there are no 
files available, these are only for user-generated template files. It should 
not crash for that reason.

We still have it. It contains the installed files in their final directory 
structure. That's why this must be populated by "make install". In release 
mode, "make install" will install to /usr/local or /usr instead.

It was full before as well, just without the binary.

For me, "make install" is ok. Installing only takes <1sec on my older system. 
If you don't want it, how about running "make install" at the start of each 
session, and subsequently "make && cp bibletime install/bin"? That should do 
what you want. Ok?

Good.
As I said, there is no location needed for the default templates.
