Gerbil has the smartest e.p. hashing of any program I have ever seen.  I intend
to brashly copy it, as soon as I find the time.

Gerbil hashes ONLY those e.p. information points where the pawn can *actually*
be taken which is just plain brilliant.  It will result in a lot more hash hits
for no apparent penalty.

An example of the genius of Bruce Moreland.
