Actually right now in StuffPV I am saving PV nodes in the hash with an EXACT
hash entry and the score returned by Search but with a depth of zero IF the node
already in the hash at that position is not the PV node (i.e. it got clobbered).

I know that someday I need to correct this and make the depth into search_depth
- ply + extensions or whatever... but for now the goal for right now is just to
get these moves ordered first and back in the hash.

Thanks,
Scott
