Just noted that "book on" was changing the default book handling
in GNU Chess.

So the program would play differently if you typed "book off"
then "book on", than when it is just started normally.

A fix just went into CVS, including implementing "book best" and
"book worst" commands.

These commands result in the best and worst moves from the book
being played, instead of the weighted random selection normally
used.

I'll also be revisiting the opening preference function, as GNU
Chess is getting into trouble in some openings on FICS.
