Why not use the simpler idea Chris suggested.  Get two operators to play the
game out on ICC.  at what ever time control we deem appropriate...  ie 5 minutes
per move or whatever.  That would resolve the games quicker than an involved
adjudication discussion and leaves the programs to their own devices to win
lose or draw.

I can run the KKup version of crafty since I saved it.  All we need is an
operator for Rebel with some time... and the right rebel version...
and hopefully on a P6/200 so we don't have to worry with handicapping of any
kind (I would run with only one CPU)...
