I guess I was missunderstood here, Since both of you have web sites (Hyatt's
UNIX focused) and yours is windows focus, I was offering the Makefile to be
placed on either of the sites so individuals could compile Crafty themselves.
The Mingw/GCC compiler is free and would allow individuals to compile Crafty
using the option switches that Crafty offers and optimize it for their platform.
Since your compiled Crafty is optimized for Intel platforms and does not have
DFUTILITY turn on, I am offering this in the spirit of sharing and can write up
instructions for your web site.
