I'm not sure, but I think CM may never find this, since the maximum PV that The
King can report is "only" 46 plies long. I ASSUME, therefore, that the maximum
that N can be for a Mate in N report is 23 moves. I haven't actually verified
this with Johan, though. I'll ask him and let you know what he says....
