Hi all!

I implemented a function for my engine "Hossa" which creates a nice HTML output
for test suites automatically. This includes GIF images of the test positions.

I make the output (without the search information of Hossa) for the suite
"WinAtChess" public. If you are interested I can also add some other suites.
Have a look at http://www.jakob.at/steffen/chess/tests/wac.html and give me some
feedback.

Some technical information:

- the bitmaps are taken from Elmar Bartel (these are the same as Tim uses in
xboard. It looks a bit different because mine have a border because of the
different way to set the background color)

- GIF images are created with the GD library

- GIF comment (FEN string) is set with the "giftool"

- Everything (HTML and GIF) is completely generated automatically by Hossa

I gave my code of the function which creates the GIF images to Bob. I hope he
will add this soon to crafty :-)

Best wishes,
Steffen.
