(ip = 18.71.0.38) in:

	pub/gnu/gnuchess-.40.pl74.tar.gz

Changes are:

        * add forward pruning (-DPRUNE to activate)
        * unlimited captures in quiescence (-DUNLIMITEDCAPS to activate)
        * fine tune and clean up eval routines (double bishop bonuses,
          higher bonuses for pawn advances, better endgame eval).
        * update null move logic for better pruning
        * modified time control logic.  
        * new repetition() code from Dan Oetting.

Kudos are due Chua Kong Sian, Dan Oetting and the other contributors
who helped make this release possible.
