OK, I finished the conversion of ChessV. The same URL now contains the
finished version. This is a 'Release' compile, i.e. there is no debug code
in there that slows it down anymore, and it reaches reasonable depth
(similr to Fairy-Max).

It should handle promotions automatically. (In so far the promotion piece
is indicated in the input move by the first letter of the name under which
ChessV knows it, except for Knight, which must be indicated by 'n'.) This
WinBoard version of ChessV supports both conventional and incremental time
control.

Unfortunately it still has the same bug as the normal ChessV: in complex
positions it sometimes switches to playing the other side...
