Well, yeah, there are the two optional analyzers, I'll see if we have the right to have them included... okay, so Gaviota is already available in Debian as libgaviotatb1 :) The only real question that I shall contact the author with is how to build the openings book file that is included in the Arasan binary distribution; there is a basic.pgn definition in the source tree, but it seems a bit too small to generate the book.bin file in the binary package.
