I never thought anybody would discover the undocumented "evaluate" command
in Gothmog.  :-)

Actually the unit is "binary centipawns", meaning pawn=128.  In other
words, the position under discussion is evaluated as -0.59.  My most
recent development version is slightly more optimistic, and evaluates
the position as -0.52.

This is a cool feature.  I should probably think about implementing
something similar.
