After I finish the Linux-NUMA stuff, it's back to the two usual things
that need work:

1.  evaluation.  There are still things that are either missing, not implemented
very cleanly, or need tuning.

2.  search.  There are still things that are untried here as well, from forward
pruning to better extension tuning or new extensions, not to mention possible
changes to the q-search which is now very simple-minded.
