A working Gnuchess (at last!)

Hi all,

I've uploaded gnuchess-4.0.pl75-1.[tar.gz|diff.gz|deb] to master.debian.org.
It's ELF, so should go in the development tree.

Note: previous versions, including the one in the stable tree, are so
severely broken that they are barely worth having at all - as soon as the
program has to `think for itself' (rather than using its book openings) it
segfaults.  I therefore suggest that the gnuchess version in the stable tree
should be removed; if it is thought worth the effort, I'll recompile this
version for a.out.

May I ask a favour?  Unfortunately I'm unable to test the visual interfaces
(gnuchess[cx]) as they don't work with Braille :-).  I'd really appreciate
it if someone could have a quick look at these and make sure they work.

Cheers,

Nikhil.
