Sorry but I don't know anything about any of this.  My policy has always been
that anybody can provide versions of Crafty, whether it be a pure mirror of what
I have, which is part of what Peter does, or whether it be various compiled
versions for different platforms, which peter also does.  Note that ChessBase
provides a version compatible with their GUI, as do others...
