The build of p61 went fine (SunOS 4.1.2, gcc 2.2.2), but the install
is still awkward.  I found two specific problems:

1.  The attempt to smooth out the book generation is admirable.  This
was a confusion point in p60.  However, the make install rule is
dependent on $(BOOKTYPE).  This seems backward to me.  I needed to
install the execs and langfile before I could generate the book.

I suggest writing the install rule as follows:

install_exec:
	(copy execs and langfile)

install: install_exec $(BOOKTYPE)

2.  I could not build a book larger than small.  The file
../misc/gnuchess.book.mega seems to be missing from the distribution
on prep.ai.mit.edu.
