It's a thought, but as a whole, it's very extensive, and for the most part of
very little use to the average Crafty user.  I trust Bob to make revisions that
will improve the program all the time, so the most recent version is always the
best bet, and it would be virtually impossible for _anyone_ to look at the
revision notes and somehow say that an older version is stronger than a recent
version.  And besides, something that's stronger in one situation or time
control will not necessarily be stronger in another situation.
