Attack tables + piecelists + 64 square board.

The problem is, Zappa will get a 30% + boost just from going to 64 bit
processors, which *will* happen over the next 5 years.  The other approach
won't.  So Zappa will get about twice the NPS of the attack table approach.  I'm
gambling that I can compute things on the fly with bitboards in that time.
We'll see :)
