+I added a large number of bitmaps for non-orthodox pieces, mainly in\r
+size middling and bulky (and to a lesser extent in petite). A few pieces\r
+(Archbishop, Chancellor and Lance) are available in all sizes from petite to bulky.\r
+The bitmaps were created as WinBoard .bmp monochrome bitmaps with MS Paint, and \r
+converted to .bm C-source files semi-automatically, to be used as built-ins for xboard.\r
