Heh Ron, I already have all of those things in.  Well, except for checking the
squares to promotion for attacks.  That might be an idea...  However, if the
pawn is a long way from promotion then the board could well change a lot before
it reached the 8th Rank, so I think it's better to check for potential threats,
rather than existing ones.
