	Wow! This is a 13 men ending! We are very far from this one. I do not know of
any complete five men tablebase set, but definitely it is posible with current
technology. The six men ending you want is posible too, but I have never seen it
(I have seen only pawnless six men tablebases). The seven men one might be
posible during our lifetime (if we have a long life), but I do not know. And the
13 men, well, maybe for year 3000.
