This is not hard to do...  you can use _any_ collection of PGN games
you want, in order to build an opening book that covers the specific
openings you want to play against.

We already have 2M game collections available.  My ftp machine is full
of pgn files...  The problem is "quality".  not "quantity".  The pgn has
typos, games by patzers, horrible blunders, openings that have been busted,
and so forth.  Learning will help, but it definitely takes time.
