Make translation of FEN with holdings also handle S-Chess
Like in Shogi FEN, UCI S-Chess engines have the holdings not immediately
behind the board, but before the move counters. Since Shogi FENs are
missing a few fields in this area (castling, e.p. and 50-move), some
recoding was necessary to make this work.

Put move translation in separate routines

Translate S-Chess gating moves
The only existing UCI S-Chess engine requires the gating square to be
repeated after the gating piece suffix. Also gating-at-Rook castlings
have a different format: they mention the King move. UCI2WB now handles
these move translations.

Update README file
Add description of the debug and -var options.
H.G. Muller [Tue, 17 Apr 2012 05:36:21 +0000]
Make supported variants run-time configurable
A new command-line argument "-var XXX" is accepted to set the variant
list reprted at startup to variants="XXX". It has to go between "debug"
and the engine name.

Use 30msec margin in st->movetime translation
Because of the different definition of the time mentioned in the WB st
and UCI movetime (max time vs exact time), a margin is needed to not make
the engine forfeit on time.

Always pass info string with timing info
Even with nopost a sting starting with "info string times @" will be passed
to the GUI as debug output.
H.G. Muller [Sun, 12 Feb 2012 21:47:44 +0000]
Fix some spurious output
Not all debug prints towards the GUI were controlled through the
"UCI2WB debug output" option. This is now repaired. The method for
matching an info string is made a bit more efficient, by only looking
at the beginning.
H.G. Muller [Sat, 14 Jan 2012 13:05:12 +0000]
Bump version number to 1.6
Also update changelog in README file.
H.G. Muller [Sat, 14 Jan 2012 12:53:08 +0000]
Fix engine names with spaces
Only the first word in the "id name" command was recognized by scanf.
H.G. Muller [Sat, 14 Jan 2012 12:46:45 +0000]
Make debug output optional
The debug output sent by UCI2WB to the GUI is made subject to an option
"UCI2WB debug output", which by default is set to false. A command-line
argument "debug" can set it to true from the beginning, so that you will
also be able to see the option handshaking.

Eliminate polling in Windows
Also use pipe-based synchronization here.
H.G. Muller [Sat, 14 Jan 2012 11:14:57 +0000]
Implement ping
Use readyok / isready to really ping the engine before acknowledging the GUI.

Eliminate polling in Linux
The sleep-spaced polling for readyok or bestmove has now been replaced
by pipe-based blocking of the waiting thread, waking it up by writing
a character into the pipe.

Checkin README

Port UCI2WB to Linux
If WIN32 is not defined, POSIX calls are used to create the engine
thread, pipes and engine process, and an own implemntation of
GetTickCount() is suppled.
