Good question.  I rebuilt them a while back, for no good reason other than
when someone asked me what the options to book build were, I couldn't recall.

I think the current command was

book create enormous.pgn 60 10

to make it simple...

No idea why books.bin and bookc.bin might have changed, unless someone
complained that some particular opening was not getting played and I added it
for them.
