NOTE: There can be spaces in option names or values. Do not use
quotes. Boolean values are written as "true" or "false".
RepeatPV (default: true)
When true, PolyGlot repeats the last pv string (which also contains
score,depth and time usage) it got from the engine. Some engines
- however do not send a new pv string just before sending the move
- and the now old pv string might confuse debugtools that parse the
- winboard debug files.

+ In that case the output of PolyGlot would be inconsistent. When
+ RepeatPV is false PolyGlot does not repeat the last pv string. Due
+ to the way kibitzing is implemented, KibitzMove is disabled in that
